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.

On February 27, 1994, at 1350 hours mountain standard time, a Cessna 150, N10669, lost control, collided with an airport runway marker, and exited the right side of runway 22L at Chandler Municipal Airport, Chandler, Arizona. The pilot was conducting a visual flight rules solo instructional flight. The airplane, registered to and operated by Michael Roberti, dba Arizona Aviation Flying Club, Falcon Field, Mesa, Arizona, sustained substantial damage.

The pilot re-iterated his telephone conversation in the Pilot/Operator Aircraft Accident Report, NTSB Form 6120.1/2.
