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 as he approached the destination airport, he tuned into the airport’s automated weather observing system and received a report that indicated an 80-degree left crosswind at 12 knots, with no gusts reported. The pilot continued the approach and nearing the airport, the pilot again noted that the wind was reported as an 85-degree left crosswind at 13 knots. About 300 to 400 ft into the landing roll, the pilot described that there was a sudden, strong tailwind gust. The airplane then veered sharply to the left, and the pilot was unable to maintain directional control despite applying full right rudder. The pilot then attempted to abort the landing, and when the airplane was about 15 feet off the ground, it struck the airport perimeter fence. The airplane’s right wing, fuselage, and empennage were substantially damaged. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures of the airplane that would have precluded normal operation. The weather conditions reported at the airport about 7 minutes after the accident included an 80-degree left crosswind at 10 knots, with gusts to 16 knots.

NTSB Probable Cause

The pilot's loss failure to maintain directional control of the airplane during a crosswind landing. Contributing was an unanticipated wind gust.
