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.

WPR21LA267

The pilot in the tailwheel-equipped airplane reported that, during the landing roll on an unimproved dirt surface, the airplane veered to the right and he subsequently reduced the throttle to the idle position. About 40 knots ground speed, he made a full left rudder pedal application, but the airplane continued to the right. The pilot then applied left brake application and the airplane veered aggressively to the left and ground looped. The right main landing gear collapsed, and the right wing struck the ground, which resulted in substantial damage to the right aileron. 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 landing roll, which resulted in a ground-loop and collision with terrain.
