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, during the takeoff roll on runway 18, the airplane veered left. The pilot attempted to correct with opposite rudder and aileron; however, the airplane exited the left side of the runway. During the excursion, the airplane rolled over a berm, and the left wing struck the ground. The airplane subsequently nosed over and came to rest inverted, which resulted in substantial damage to the right upper wing, left lower wing, vertical stabilizer, and rudder. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation. At the time of the accident, the pilot was departing from runway 18 with wind from 270° at 12 knots, gusting to 20kts.
