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 flight instructor reported that while landing with a crosswind the airplane bounced and while airborne she felt a wind gust. Subsequently, the airplane touched down and veered to the right into the wind. The flight instructor took control of the airplane and applied full left rudder then applied left brake. Despite her efforts the airplane ground looped, and the left wing contacted the runway surface resulting in substantial damage to the left wing. The flight instructor reported no preimpact mechanical malfunctions or anomalies that could have precluded normal operation. At about the time of the accident, the airplane was landing on runway 16R, with the wind variable from 230° to 270° at 6-8 knots.
