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
WPR25LA206

The pilot of the tailwheel-equipped airplane reported that, during the landing approach he felt a right-rear quartering wind gust. Upon touchdown, the airplane was difficult to control with a tendency to veer to the right. While attempting to correct back to runway centerline, the airplane ground looped to the right. During the ground loop the left main landing gear collapsed, and the left wing impacted the runway surface. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the left wing. At the time of the accident, the pilot was landing the airplane on runway 33 with wind from 220°, variable between 180° to260° at 11 knots, gusting 21 knots. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
