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.

GAA19CA219
The pilot in the tailwheel-equipped airplane reported that, at dusk, he made a wheel landing on an asphalt runway near mountains. He recalled that, shortly after a normal touchdown and during the landing roll, the tail lifted, and the nose veered right. He applied rudder to correct, but the pilot overcorrected, and the airplane exited the left side of the runway. He aborted the landing, and the airplane began to climb, but the left wing struck a large bush, and the airplane then impacted terrain. The airplane sustained substantial damage to both wings, the empennage, and the elevator. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
NTSB Probable Cause
The pilot's failure to maintain directional control during the landing roll, which resulted in a runway excursion and an attempted aborted landing and impact with bushes and terrain.
Full Narrative
The pilot in the tailwheel-equipped airplane reported that, at dusk, he made a wheel landing on a mountain area asphalt runway. He recalled that shortly after a normal touchdown, during the landing roll, the tail lifted, and the nose of the airplane veered to the right. He applied rudder to correct the airplane's heading back to the runway centerline, but the pilot overcorrected, and the airplane exited the left side of the runway. He aborted the landing, and the airplane began to climb, but the left wing struck a "large bush" and the airplane impacted terrain. The airplane sustained substantial damage to both wings, the empennage, and the elevator. The pilot reported that there were no mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
