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.

CEN22LA155
After the landing the pilot stopped the airplane on the taxiway and noted that the airspeed indicator indicated almost 40 knots due to the wind. The pilot taxied the airplane toward the fuel pump with aileron crosswind correction and heard the stall warning horn sound. The wind lifted the right wing, so the pilot pulled the throttle to idle and applied the brakes. The left wing and propeller struck the ground as the wind continued to push the airplane across the ground. The left wing sustained substantial damage. After the pilot egressed, a gust of wing flipped the airplane inverted.
NTSB Probable Cause
The pilot’s failure to maintain control of the airplane during taxi with a strong crosswind.
