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 of the tailwheel equipped airplane reported that during the landing flare, the airplane experienced a wind gust and dropped to the runway. The airplane bounced, then subsequently bounded two more times before settling on the runway. During the landing roll, a wind gust from the right pushed the airplane to the left. The pilot applied aileron and rudder correction, however, the airplane continued toward the left and subsequently exited the runway. During the runway excursion, the right main landing gear collapsed, and the right wing sustained substantial damage. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures that would have precluded normal operation. At the time of the accident, the pilot was landing the airplane on runway 26 with the wind from 200° at 6 knots.
