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
WPR21LA112
The pilot of the tailwheel-equipped airplane reported that, during the takeoff roll, he lost directional control and the airplane ground looped. The airplane exited the side of the runway where the right main landing gear separated. The right wing contacted the ground and was substantially damaged. 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 failure to maintain directional control during the takeoff roll, which resulted in a ground loop, runway excursion and collision with terrain.
