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
CEN23LA252
The pilot stated that during landing at the destination airport, his right foot slipped of the rudder pedal and became wedged between the pedal and the adjacent airplane structure. He partially freed his right foot and attempted to regain control when his left foot became wedged between the left pedal and the airplane structure. The pilot was unable to regain directional control and the airplane veered off the runway and impacted terrain. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the lower left wing. The pilot reported that he was not aware of any preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
NTSB Probable Cause
The pilot’s loss of directional control during landing rollout due to interference from the pilot’s foot/shoe with the airplane structure that resulted in a runway excursion and impact with terrain.
