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 reported that while landing at a private grass airstrip, the airplane landed hard and bounced. The right wing struck corn stalks that bordered the airstrip. The airplane continued into the cornfield, nosed over, and came to rest inverted. During the runway excursion and subsequent nose over, the left wing impacted the ground and sustained substantial damage. The pilot reported that the airplane had no preimpact mechanical malfunctions or failures that would have precluded normal operation.
NTSB Probable Cause
The pilot’s loss of directional control while landing, which resulted in a runway excursion, impact with corn stalks, and subsequent nose over.
