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.

NTSB Number
ERA25LA034
The pilot, who did not hold a rotorcraft helicopter rating, was performing a spot landing in the helicopter in relatively calm wind conditions. He stated that upon touchdown on the right skid, an unanticipated wind gust from the left pushed the helicopter forward and to the right, after which the helicopter dynamically rolled over to the right. The helicopter’s tailboom and main rotor blades were substantially damaged during the accident sequence. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the helicopter that would have precluded normal operation.
NTSB Probable Cause
The pilot’s failure to maintain control of the helicopter during landing following an encounter with an unanticipated wind gust, which resulted in a dynamic rollover.
