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 was conducting a crosswind landing when shortly before touchdown the airplane drifted left of the runway centerline. The airplane bounced and continued to drift left into the grass easement adjacent to the runway where the nose gear collapsed. The airplane then nosed over and came to rest inverted. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the vertical stabilizer, rudder, right wing strut, and left wing. Based on available wind data, there was a gusting right crosswind of 10-15 knots. The pilot stated that there were no preimpact mechanical malfunctions or failures that would have precluded normal operation.
