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 student pilot reported that while landing near touchdown, the airplane encountered an unexpected strong wind gust, and the airplane veered to the left of the runway. He then attempted a go-around by applying full engine power and removing carburetor heat. The airplane did not climb, bounced off the terrain, and impacted a stand of trees. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the wings, fuselage, and empennage. The student pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation. At the time of the accident, the student pilot was landing the airplane on runway 27 with wind from 330° at 5 knots (kts) and wind gusts greater than 10 kts.
