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.

During an instructional flight, the pilot providing instruction, seated on the right side, reported that, on landing roll while performing a touch-and-go, the pilot receiving instruction, seated on the left side, began to drift left. The pilot providing instruction attempted to correct with right rudder but was unable to overcome the drift. The airplane was equipped with brake pedals only on the left side, so the pilot providing instruction subsequently told the pilot receiving instruction to correct with right brake. However, the pilot receiving instruction did not apply adequate corrective measures, which resulted in a ground loop. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the left wing and fuselage. The pilot providing instruction reported no pre-impact mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
