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.

WPR25LA019

The pilot of the tail wheel equipped airplane reported that, during takeoff in a left crosswind, as the tail came up the pilot applied right rudder, but the airplane veered left. After the airplane lifted off the runway the pilot banked left to avoid a windmill in his flight path; however, the tailwheel struck a stock tank. The pilot immediately cut the engine power and the airplane touched down in a left slip folding the left main landing gear under the airplane, which resulted in substantial damage to the left wing and horizontal stabilizer. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.

NTSB Probable Cause

The pilot's failure to maintain directional control during takeoff, which resulted in a collision with an obstacle.
