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 he was performing touch-and-go landings. While performing a three-point landing on the center of the runway, a gust of wind struck the airplane from the right. The airplane initially swerved slightly, then rapidly to the right and the left wing contacted the ground. The pilot then taxied the airplane back to the ramp uneventfully. The left wing and elevator were substantially damaged during the accident. The pilot stated there were no mechanical malfunctions or failures of the airplane that would have precluded normal operation. The recorded wind conditions at the time of the accident included a 50° right crosswind at 7 knots.
