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 landing roll out, on a remote off-airport ridgeline with vegetation about two ft in height, he attempted a turn to the left while braking. While traveling "less than 10 mph", the right wheel struck vegetation, the pilot lost control, and the airplane nosed over. The airplane subsequently came to rest inverted and sustained substantial damage to the rudder. 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 selection of unsuitable terrain for landing, which resulted in a loss of control during the landing and a nose over.
