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
GAA19CA393
The pilot of the tailwheel-equipped airplane reported that, during the takeoff roll, the airplane abruptly veered right, and he overcorrected to the left. The pilot then reduced the engine power to idle and overcorrected to the right. He attempted to correct by applying full brakes, but the airplane exited the runway to the left and nosed over. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the vertical stabilizer, rudder, and the right and left wings. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
NTSB Probable Cause
The pilot's failure to maintain directional control and his overapplication of brakes during an aborted takeoff, which resulted in a runway excursion and subsequent nose-over.
Full Narrative
The pilot of the tailwheel equipped airplane reported that, during the takeoff roll, the airplane abruptly veered right and he overcorrected to the left. The pilot then reduced the engine power to idle, and over corrected to the right. He attempted to correct and applied full brakes, but the airplane exited the runway to the left and nosed over. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the vertical stabilizer, rudder, right and left wing. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation. An automated weather observation station located 2 miles to the south, reported that, about 25 minutes after the accident, the wind was from 340° at 3 knots. The airplane was taking off on runway 17.
