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
ANC25LA113
The pilot of a tailwheel-equipped airplane reported that he diverted to an airport to make an en route fuel stop, but did not utilize the available weather products, which would have alerted him to the strong windy conditions at the airport. The pilot then selected Runway 32, requiring a correction for a strong left crosswind. During the landing roll, the airplane ground looped then subsequently nosed over on the paved runway. The airplane sustained substantial damage to both wings, vertical stabilizer and rudder. The pilot reported that there were no preimpact mechanical failures or malfunctions that would have precluded normal operation.
NTSB Probable Cause
The pilot’s failure to maintain directional control during the landing roll with a crosswind, resulting in a ground loop and nose over.
