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 July 7, 1994, at 1500 central daylight time, a Piper PA-28-140, N1382T, was substantially damaged during takeoff near England, Arkansas. The private pilot and his passenger were not injured. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed for the personal flight. According to the pilot, the left main landing gear tire became entangled in tall grass while departing to the south from a private grass strip. The pilot added that the tall grass decelerated the airplane to the point that airspeed and directional control could not be maintained. The airplane came to rest in a cotton field adjacent to the airstrip with damage to the right wing.
