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
WPR26LA195
The pilot of the tailwheel equipped airplane reported that, during a full-stop landing with a right crosswind, the airplane touched down and the right wing lifted. The pilot attempted a go-around, however, realized the airplane was too slow for a go-around and effective recovery, and reduced power to idle. Subsequently, the airplane veered to the right and ground looped. The airplane exited the right side of the runway and nosed over, coming to rest inverted. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the left-wing strut and rudder. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation. At the time of the accident, the pilot reported that he was landing on runway 24 with wind from 330° at 18 knots.
