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.

ERA25LA039
The pilot approached the destination airport and noted that the tower air traffic controller was very busy due to the traffic load, and because the runway most favorable for the prevailing wind was closed due to a disabled aircraft. The tower controller subsequently cleared pilot to land on a runway where a nearly direct left crosswind at 10 knots, gusting to 15 knots prevailed. The pilot described that upon landing, a gust of wind “pushed” the airplane off of the runway surface and it collided a taxiway sign. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the left wing during the accident sequence. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
NTSB Probable Cause
The pilot’s inadequate compensation for the prevailing wind conditions while landing, which resulted in a runway excursion and collision with a sign.
