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 after touchdown on the runway, a gust of wind pushed the tail of the airplane to the left. The pilot was unable to maintain directional control and the airplane departed the runway and nosed over in a grassy area adjacent to the runway. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the left wing. The pilot reported that there were no pre-accident mechanical malfunctions or failures that would have precluded normal operation. The reported winds about the time of the accident were light and variable at 3 knots.
NTSB Probable Cause
The pilot’s loss of directional control during landing with wind gusts, which resulted in a runway excursion and nose over.
