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 stated that during takeoff from an unimproved airstrip, in a tailwheel-equipped airplane, she encountered a gust of wind just as the tail lifted off the ground. The airplane veered left and impacted trees and came to rest amongst the vegetation. Both wings, horizontal stabilizer, and elevator sustained substantial damage. The pilot reported there were no preaccident mechanical malfunctions of failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
NTSB Probable Cause
The pilot’s failure to maintain directional control during takeoff, in gusty wind conditions, resulting in a loss of control and a collision with trees.
