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.

The pilot reported that he was landing at night with a quartering tailwind. Shortly after touchdown, about the time that he placed the power control lever into reverse position, the airplane veered right. He successfully brought the airplane back to the runway centerline after applying left rudder control. However, about 1 to 3 seconds later, the airplane veered hard right. The pilot tried to bring the airplane back towards the runway centerline again, but the airplane veered off the right side of the runway and travelled through gravel between the runway and the taxiway. Subsequently, the airplane struck a storm trench and substantially damaged the right wing. The airport’s automated weather observation station reported that, about the time of the accident, the wind was from 240° at 13 knots, gusting to 20 knots. The pilot landed the airplane onto runway 17R. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operations.
