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.

ERA22LA158
The pilot reported that the tailwheel-equipped airplane drifted right during the landing rollout in crosswind conditions. The pilot applied left rudder to correct the deviation; however, the right main landing gear contacted a snowdrift on the runway edge and the right wing impacted a snowbank. The airplane then yawed right, departed the runway, nosed over, and came to rest inverted, which resulted in substantial damage to the fuselage and rudder. The pilot reported that the airplane had no preimpact mechanical malfunctions or failures that would have precluded normal operation.
