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
CEN20CA333
The pilot reported that during landing in the tailwheel equipped airplane, he performed two go-arounds after each approach for landing due to the wind upsetting his landing or the landing was not going to be smooth. During the third landing attempt, the approach felt more stable and within several seconds of landing touchdown, an aggressive ground loop to the left developed. The right main landing gear collapsed, and the right wing sustained substantial damage. The pilot reported that there were no mechanical anomalies with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
NTSB Probable Cause
The pilot's failure to attain/maintain directional control during landing that resulted in a ground-loop and collision with terrain.
