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 August 30, 1994, about 1400 central daylight time, N4811R, Cessna C-188 crashed in Egypt, Mississippi, while on a 14 CFR Part 137 agricultural flight. The airplane was operated by Kimmel Aviation. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time and no flight plan was filed for the local flight. The pilot received minor injuries and the airplane was substantially damaged by postcrash fire. The flight originated shortly before the accident. The pilot reported that while maneuvering during a spray run the airplane "settled in" during a turn at a low altitude. He attempted a landing to a field and the airplane nosed over. After he exited the airplane it caught fire.
