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 December 12, 1994, about 1738 eastern standard time, a Cessna 150M, N704BJ, registered to Ormond Beach Aviation, made a forced landing in a swamp following total loss of engine power, while on a 14 CFR Part 91 personal flight. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time and no flight plan was filed. The aircraft received substantial damage and the private-rated pilot and one passenger were not injured. The flight originated at Ormond Beach, Florida, on December 12, 1994, about 1400. The pilot stated that as he proceeded toward Ormond Beach Airport he considered stopping at New Symrna Beach for fuel. He did not do this and at a point 7 miles south of Ormond Beach Airport the engine quit. He made a forced landing in a wooded area and the aircraft came to rest. He radioed to the Daytona Beach Airport Control Tower that they were alright and that he had run out of fuel. Examination of the aircraft by the operator after recovery from the crash site indicated the aircraft contained 6 quarts of fuel. There was no evidence of precrash or postcrash fuel leakage from the aircraft.
