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, during landing, the wind shifted to a tailwind, and he landed past his intended touch down point. Breaking action was poor on the river rock surface and when the airplane was nearing the end of the airstrip the pilot, “ground looped the airplane to prevent the airplane from rolling over the bank.” Subsequently, the left wheel hit large rocks and the airplane nosed over off the end of the runway, which resulted in substantial damage to both wing tips, the right wing strut, horizontal stabilizer and elevator. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation..
