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
CEN23LA380
The pilot reported that during the landing roll, as the nose landing gear contacted the runway, he felt a vibration from the front of the airplane, then it veered hard left. During the veer, the airplane began to skid so he applied right rudder but was unable to maintain directional control. The airplane departed the runway surface, the nose landing gear collapsed, and the right wing impacted terrain, which resulted in substantial damage to the right wing. At the time of the accident, the pilot was landing the airplane with 20° left crosswind at 7 knots gusting to 16 knots. Postaccident examination of the airplane showed that there were no preaccident mechanical malfunctions of failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
