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.

CEN25LA155
The pilot reported that while conducting a slow flight maneuver for flight testing purposes in an unregistered airplane, he felt a “heavy push up” on the airplane to about 75 ft above ground level. The right wing then lifted and the pilot lost control of the airplane which entered a left descending spiral. The airplane subsequently impacted terrain and came to rest inverted. A witness reported that he observed dust devil weather activity where the airplane was flying at the time of the accident. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the fuselage, both wings, and the empennage. The pilot reported there were no preimpact mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
NTSB Probable Cause
The airplane’s encounter with a dust devil, which resulted in a loss of airplane control at a low altitude.
