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 the student pilot aborted the first landing attempt due to crosswind conditions. During the second landing, the airplane bounced, then weather vaned and exited the runway to the right, substantially damaging the right wing tip before coming to rest. The instructor reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane what would have precluded normal operation.
NTSB Probable Cause
The student pilot’s improper landing during crosswind conditions and the flight instructor’s failure to take remedial action, which resulted in a loss of control.
