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.

CEN26LA121
The flight instructor and pilot receiving instruction reported that while practicing takeoffs and landings, the airplane touched down to the left of the runway centerline, and the tailwheel bounced a couple times. The pilot receiving instruction attempted to correct with opposite rudder; however, he overcorrected to the right. The flight instructor took over flight controls and attempted to correct with left brake and rudder; however, the airplane exited the right side of the runway into deep snow, nosed over, and came to rest inverted. The airplane sustained substantial damage to both wings, the fuselage, the vertical stabilizer, and the rudder. The pilot and instructor both reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
NTSB Probable Cause
The pilot receiving instruction’s failure to maintain directional control during the landing. Contributing to the accident was the flight instructor’s delayed remedial action.
