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 following a cross-country flight he entered the traffic pattern for landing and noticed a left crosswind about 8 knots. He described the approach as normal, however; the touchdown was to the right of the centerline and the nosed yawed to the right during the roll out. The pilot attempted to maintain directional control with rudder application, but the airplane continued to veer off the runway to the right into a ditch and the right main landing gear collapsed. A Federal Aviation Administration inspector observed no anomalies with flight control continuity during a postaccident examination of the airplane. The stabilator sustained substantial damage.
NTSB Probable Cause
The pilot’s failure to maintain directional control during the landing roll in crosswind conditions, which resulted in a runway excursion, right main landing gear collapse, and a collision with a ditch.
