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 of the tailwheel equipped airplane reported that during the landing roll the wind shifted from a quartering headwind to a tailwind, and “threw me off the runway.” The pilot attempted to correct with opposite rudder and aileron inputs to counteract the wind shift, however, the airplane bounced and nosed over. The vertical stabilizer, rudder, and right wing lift strut were substantially damaged. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation. At the time of the accident, the pilot was landing on runway 20 and reported that the wind was variable at 28 to 45 knots.
