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.

NTSB Number
ERA24LA210
The pilot reported flying the airplane around the airport traffic pattern to warm up the engine prior to an engine oil filter change. During the landing roll of his second full stop landing, the pilot described that the wind abruptly changed direction and speed and he lost directional control of the airplane. Unable to initiate corrective maneuvers in time, the airplane veered off the left side of the runway into the grass, where it subsequently struck an precision approach path indicator light resulting in substantial damage to the airplane’s right wing. The pilot reported that there were no preimpact mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
NTSB Probable Cause
The pilot’s failure to maintain directional control while landing in variable wind conditions, which resulted in runway excursion and collision with an approach light.
