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 pilot reported that during landing roll, the airplane began to move to the left, which he applied corrective control inputs to maneuver the airplane to the right. The pilot stated that as the airplane began to move to the right, it began to feel as if it was going to swing around. Subsequently, the left wing tip stuck the runway surface and the airplane swung about 270°, before it settled onto the right main landing gear, which collapsed. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the left wing, and both ailerons. At the time of the accident, the pilot was landing on runway 22 with calm wind. The pilot reported no pre-accident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
