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
GAA19CA510
The flight instructor reported that the student pilot had touched down on his fourth landing of the training flight. During the landing roll, the student overcontrolled the rudder, and the airplane veered left, and he then overcorrected to the right. The instructor took the flight controls and applied left rudder and left brake, but the airplane exited the right side of the runway, sank into soft dirt, and nosed over. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the rudder and left wing lift strut. The instructor reported that there were no mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
NTSB Probable Cause
The student pilot's failure to maintain directional control during the landing roll, which resulted in a runway excursion and noseover.
Full Narrative
The flight instructor in the back seat of the tailwheel-equipped airplane reported that, the student pilot in the front seat had touched down on his fourth landing of the training flight. During the landing roll, the student over-controlled the rudder and the airplane veered left, and then overcorrected to the right. The instructor came onto the flight controls and applied left rudder and left brake to control the airplane back to the left. However, the airplane exited the right side of the runway and sank into the soft dirt and nosed over. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the rudder and the left wing lift-strut. The flight instructor reported that there were no mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
