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 reported that, during the takeoff roll, he lost "lateral" control when he overcorrected to the left. The airplane subsequently lifted off at too high of an angle of attack, stalled, and impacted terrain left of the runway. The fuselage just forward of the empennage sustained substantial damage. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.

Full Narrative

The pilot reported that during the takeoff roll, he lost lateral control when he overcorrected to the left. The airplane lifted off at too high of an angle of attack, stalled, and impacted terrain to the left of the runway. There was extensive buckling of the fuselage just forward of the empennage. The pilot attributed the accident to "low time tailwheel pilot error." The pilot reported he had logged 110 hours in tailwheel airplanes performing takeoffs and landings, 64 hours of which were in the accident airplane. He added, "Additional tailwheel takeoff experience would have prevented the accident."
