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.
Weslaco, TX
The student pilot was performing touch and go landings while his instructor monitored at the airport. He performed two touch and go landings without incident and approached the runway to perform a full stop landing to pick up his instructor. During the landing rollout, the student pilot reported a gust of wind picked up the right wing and the airplane began to veer left. The student pilot attempted to correct with opposite aileron; however, the airplane exited the runway, and the nose landing gear collided with a runway sign. The nose landing gear collapsed and was torn from the airplane as it skidded to a stop. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the forward fuselage. The student 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 student pilot was landing the airplane on runway 14 with wind from 080° at 9 knots.
