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.

Full Narrative
On February 16, 1994, at 1346 mountain standard time, N756YH, a Cessna TU206, sustained substantial damage when the pilot aborted a takeoff at Salt Lake Municipal Airport 2, Salt Lake City, Utah. The private pilot and his two passengers were uninjured. There was no flight plan filed for the local flight. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time. The ELT was reported to have actuated. The pilot stated that the aircraft started to porpoise on takeoff, so he aborted the takeoff about 4 to 5 feet above the runway. He said the nose came down first, blew the tire, and collapsed the nose landing gear. The aircraft slid off the side of runway 16, hit a couple runway lights, and hit a snow bank, causing substantial structural damage to the fuselage.
