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
ERA26LA020
The private pilot of the tailwheel-equipped airplane was receiving instruction for his tailwheel endorsement. The pilot stated that during the third touch-and-go landing attempt, shortly after touchdown, he drifted from the runway centerline and inadvertently applied the brakes instead of the rudder to realign the airplane with the runway centerline. The airplane nosed over and came to rest inverted resulting in substantial damage to the empennage, right wing, and fuselage. The pilot reported that the airplane had no preimpact mechanical malfunctions or failures that would have precluded normal operation.
NTSB Probable Cause
The pilot’s inadvertent application of brakes during the landing roll, which resulted in a noseover.
