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.

NTSB Number
WPR23LA228
The pilot reported that while adjusting the aircraft's attitude for a 3-point tail-wheel landing, the aircraft bounced. Despite rudder and tail wheel inputs, the aircraft veered to the right side of the runway. The pilot elected to go around and applied full power. The airplane’s landing gear became entangled in nearby bushes and the airplane subsequently impacted terrain, which resulted in substantial damage to the right wing. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
NTSB Probable Cause
The pilot's failure to maintain control of the airplane during the landing roll and subsequent impact with terrain during go-around.
