Move quickly by aircraft, airport, operator, and time with indexes built for research, not wandering.
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.
Pollard, AR
DURING THE INITIAL CLIMB THE ENGINE LOST POWER AND THE PILOT ATTEMPTED A LANDING IN THE ONLY AVAILABLE AREA, A RICE PADDY. DURING THE LANDING ROLL THE MAIN LANDING GEAR SANK INTO THE MUD AND THE AIRCRAFT NOSED OVER TO THE INVERTED POSITION.
THE LOSS OF ENGINE POWER FOR UNDETERMINED REASONS. A FACTOR WAS THE LACK OF SUITABLE TERRAIN TO PERFORM A FORCED LANDING.
On July 25, 1994, at approximately 1335 central daylight time, a Grumman G-164B N8092K, was substantially damaged during a forced landing near Pollard, Arkansas. The commercial rated pilot was not injured. Weather for the 14 CFR 137 aerial application flight was visual meteorological conditions. The pilot reported that during takeoff initial climb he lost all engine power. He elected to land in the only available area, a wet and soft rice field. During the landing roll the aircraft nosed over to the inverted position, sustaining damage to the empennage. An examination of the engine by the operator did not reveal any anomalies. Repeated attempts to obtain an NTSB Form 6120.1/2 (Pilot/Operator Report) were not successful.
