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 June 17, 1995, about 1945 central daylight time, a Beech C24R, N24024, registered to Jack W. Lewis, made a forced landing following partial loss of engine power shortly after takeoff from Houston Municipal Airport, Houston, Mississippi, 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 was originating at the time of the accident. The pilot stated that shortly after takeoff the engine began to sputter and lose power. He observed a field ahead and made a forced landing in the field. After rolling about 20 yards after touchdown the right main landing gear separated. The nose gear separated and the left main gear collapsed. The aircraft then came to rest. After the accident the engine was removed from the aircraft and placed on an engine test stand. The engine was started and would only operate to 1600 rpm. The fuel injectors were removed and the no. 6 fuel injector was found to be plugged with carbon. After cleaning all fuel injectors the engine was started and operated normally to full power.
