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 was landing the weight-shift control aircraft when the right main tire failed and he lost directional control. He reported that the landing was hard, but he had landed hard before without issues. The aircraft rolled onto its side, which resulted in substantial damage to the wing structure. The tire was disposed of before it could be examined, but photographs of the tire showed it had failed and split down the center groove. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures with the weight-shift control aircraft that would have precluded normal operation.
