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 it was the first takeoff in a weight-shift control aircraft for the pilot receiving instruction. During the takeoff roll, the aircraft veered left and then right, then rolled on its side and exited the runway. According to the flight instructor, the pilot receiving instruction made “reverse command” control inputs which led to side-to-side oscillations, which progressed without correction from the flight instructor. The pilot reported no pre-impact mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
NTSB Probable Cause
The pilot receiving instruction’s failure to maintain control of the weight-shift control aircraft, during takeoff, which resulted in collision with terrain. Contributing to the accident was the flight instructor’s delayed remedial action.
