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.

NTSB Number
GAA19CA140
The student pilot reported that, during landing, he became complacent and did not compensate for a right crosswind. The airplane exited the left side of the runway, crossed over the taxiway, and the right main landing gear collapsed. Subsequently, the right wing and the stabilator struck the ground. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the right wing and the stabilator. The student reported that there were no preimpact mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation. The student reported that the wind about the time of the accident was from 220° at 9 knots. The student landed the airplane on runway 18.
NTSB Probable Cause
The student pilot's complacency, which led to his improper crosswind correction and subsequent failure to maintain directional control during the landing roll, which resulted in a runway excursion and ground collision.
Full Narrative
The student pilot reported that following a solo cross-country flight, during landing he became complacent, and did not compensate for the right crosswind. The airplane exited the left side of the runway and crossed over the taxiway and the right main landing gear collapsed. Subsequently, the right wing and the stabilator struck the ground. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the right wing and the stabilator. The student reported that the wind about the time of the accident was from 220° at 9 knots. The airplane landed on runway 18. The student reported that there were no mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
