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 was conducting touch-and-go landings in a tailwheel-equipped airplane during gusting crosswind conditions. The pilot reported that after landing, a gust of wind turned the airplane into the wind. When the pilot corrected for the turn, another gust of wind lifted the left wing and the airplane nosed over. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the left wing and rudder. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures that would have precluded normal operation.
