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 of the tailwheel-equipped airplane reported that, as the airplane touched down, it veered right. He tried to correct with full aft stick and full right aileron and left brake, but the airplane continued to yaw right and then exited the right side of the runway, and the left main landing gear collapsed. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the left wing and fuselage. The pilot reported that there were no preimpact mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.

NTSB Probable Cause

The pilot's failure to maintain directional control during landing, which resulted in a runway excursion and the nose landing gear collapsing.

Full Narrative

The pilot of the tailwheel-equipped airplane reported that, during landing, as the airplane touched down, the airplane veered to the right. He tried to correct with full aft stick, full right aileron and left brake, but the airplane continued to yaw to the right, the left main landing gear collapsed, and the airplane came to rest at the right edge of the runway. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the left wing and fuselage. The pilot reported that there were no preimpact mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation. About the time of the accident, the automated weather reporting station located on the airport, reported that the wind was from 020° at 5 knots. The pilot was landing the airplane on runway 35.
