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 instructor of the tailwheel-equipped airplane reported a left crosswind during the landing approach. The pilot receiving instruction executed a 3-point landing and the tailwheel bounced twice. The instructor told the student to “pin the tail” by applying full aft elevator. The airplane deviated right of runway centerline and the pilot corrected with left rudder. The airplane crossed the centerline to the left and did not respond to full right rudder and heavy right braking. The airplane ground looped to the left sustaining substantial damage to the right wing and right horizontal stabilizer and elevator. The pilot reported there were no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures that would have precluded normal operation.
