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 pilot reported that he was attempting a takeoff in a right crosswind. About 25 to 30 ft above the ground, the airplane banked left about 60°, and the left wingtip struck the runway. The airplane then landed hard, slid off the left side of the runway and came to rest upright, oriented opposite of the takeoff direction. The pilot added that there were no preimpact mechanical malfunctions with the airplane. A postaccident examination revealed substantial damage to the left wing and fuselage.

NTSB Probable Cause

The pilot’s failure to maintain control during takeoff in a crosswind, which resulted in abnormal runway contact and a runway excursion.
