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.

ERA26LA033
The pilot reported that the purpose of the flight was to practice traffic pattern operations with a simulated power off, 180-degree turning approach to land. While turning toward final approach, the pilot stated that the left wing began to rise as the result of a crosswind gust. The pilot was unable to stop the right turn, which continued until airplane impacted the ground. The airplane then became airborne again before it came to a rest in tall grass and bushes east of the runway. The airplane’s wings and fuselage sustained substantial damage. The pilot stated that there were no preimpact mechanical malfunctions or failures of the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
NTSB Probable Cause
The pilot’s failure to compensate for gusty crosswind conditions, which resulted in a loss of control of the airplane and subsequent collision with terrain.
