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.

ERA21LA260
The pilot reported that, while on short final in his tailwheel-equipped airplane, he began to feel “slow.” He added power and realized he had drifted right of the runway centerline. In an attempt to recover, he “pulled back too much on the stick,” and the airplane stalled just above the ground. Subsequently, the airplane impacted right of the runway in a nose-low attitude and came to rest inverted. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the wings and fuselage. The pilot reported that the airplane had no preimpact mechanical malfunctions or failures that would have precluded normal operation.
NTSB Probable Cause
The pilot’s failure to maintain adequate airspeed during landing, which led to the airplane exceeding its critical angle-of-attack and experiencing an aerodynamic stall.
