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 June 11, 1994, about 1500 hours Pacific daylight time, a Cessna 172, N7112T, crashed about 2 miles south of Suisun City, California, in the Grizzly Island Wildlife Area. The airplane was being operated as a visual flight rules (VFR) cross-country personal flight to Santa Rosa, California, when the accident occurred. The airplane, operated by Santa Rosa Aircraft Sales, was destroyed. The certificated private pilot, the sole occupant, received minor injuries. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed. The flight originated at the Stockton Metropolitan Airport, Stockton, California, about 1440 hours. The pilot reported he last remembered flying about 4,500 feet mean sea level (msl) in cruise flight. The next memory that the pilot reported was "climbing out of the aircraft at the crash site." The pilot reported to a responding deputy from the Solano County Sheriff's Department that he thought he fell asleep. The reporting deputy stated that the pilot was "responsive but appeared disoriented."
