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 reported that she and her student pilot were practicing landings on runway 34. The instructor stated that the student pilot compensated for a crosswind out of the east. The student reported that she compensated with right aileron and left rudder; however, upon touchdown and landing roll-out, she did not release the left rudder pressure and the airplane began to veer to the left. The instructor attempted to correct the deviation and bring the airplane back to runway centerline, but the airplane impacted a ditch on the side of the runway and flipped over. Both wings and vertical stabilizer were substantially damaged. The pilots reported there were no mechanical malfunctions or failures that would have precluded normal operations.
