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.

CEN26LA085
The non-certificated pilot reported that while landing, the airplane encountered a downdraft and was pushed toward the runway surface. He attempted to correct by applying full power; however, the airplane touched down and exited the right side of the runway. During the runway excursion, the airplane skidded and turned 180° which resulted in substantial damage to the fuselage and the right forward lift strut. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
