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
WPR21LA187
The student pilot reported that, he configured the airplane for landing on runway 22R and touched down on the runway centerline. Upon landing, the airplane encountered a wind gust and became airborne. The airplane drifted off the runway area and the wings oscillated with the tips making contact with the surface. As a result of the impact, the airplane sustained substantial damage to the upper fuselage skin located between the wing roots. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation. An aviation routine weather report (METAR) for the airport about 25 minutes after the accident reported winds from 310o at 10 knots with gusts to 17 knots.
NTSB Probable Cause
The pilot’s failure to maintain directional control during landing in gusty wind conditions which resulted in a runway excursion and collision with terrain.
