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 flight instructor reported that he and the pilot receiving instruction were practicing takeoffs and landings in a tailwheel-equipped airplane. During takeoff, the pilot receiving instruction applied excessive right rudder and the airplane went to the right, he relieved the right rudder, and the airplane veered to the left, traveling diagonally across the runway. The flight instructor applied aft pressure on the stick to get the airplane airborne, simultaneously the pilot receiving instruction reduced the throttle to idle. The airplane bounced and impacted terrain and nosed over. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the fuselage, empennage and wings. The pilot reported no pre-impact mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
NTSB Probable Cause
The pilot’s failure to maintain directional control during takeoff, which resulted in a nose over. Contributing to the accident was the flight instructor’s delayed remedial action.
