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.

The flight instructor and pilot were conducting a currency flight with the pilot at the flight controls of the tailwheel equipped airplane. The takeoff, flight around the traffic pattern, and landing approach were normal. The pilot executed a wheel landing; however, the airplane encountered a “rough spot on the turf runway” and bounced. When the airplane touched down again, it entered a ground loop which resulted in a runway excursion. During the accident sequence, the left wing contacted the ground resulting in substantial damage to the wing spar and aileron. The flight instructor and pilot reported that there were no airplane anomalies before the ground loop.
