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 of the tailwheel equipped airplane reported that shortly after touchdown, the airplane veered left. The pilot and flight instructor attempted to correct with opposite rudder, and aileron inputs, however, the airplane ground looped to the left, and exited the left side of the runway. During the ground loop, the right wing struck the ground, which resulted in substantial damage to the lower right wing and aileron. The pilot reported there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that precluded normal operation. At the time of the accident, the pilot was landing on runway 22 with wind from 200° at 8 knots.
