Aviation safety reports, made easier to study

NTSB Reports is an independent research and search tool for public aviation accident and incident records. It brings NTSB aviation reports, structured fields, docket files, extracted figures, photos, videos, and update history into one searchable interface.

The goal is practical safety education: make it faster to find relevant investigations, compare similar events, review factual records, and understand the evidence behind probable-cause and preliminary reports.

The investigative work and source records belong to the National Transportation Safety Board and the published investigation record. This site is not affiliated with or endorsed by the NTSB.

The pilot reported that, during landing, the wheels touched down but then lifted off the runway. The airplane floated and drifted left of centerline. He then heard the stall horn, the wheels touched down again, and the airplane veered left, exited the runway, and struck a pole. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the left wing. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation. The airport's automated weather observation station reported that, about the time of the accident, the wind was from 220° at 5 knots. The pilot landed the airplane on runway 01.

NTSB Probable Cause

The pilot's improper decision to land with a quartering tailwind and his improper landing flare, which resulted in a bounced landing, loss of directional control, runway excursion, and impact with a pole.
