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, 1995, at 1110 central daylight time, a Cessna 152, N6306H, was substantially damaged during takeoff near Bridgeport, Texas. The student pilot was not injured. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed for the instructional flight. In an interview with a Federal Aviation Administration inspector, the pilot reported that during takeoff, following a touch and go landing, the engine lost power. The pilot further reported that airspeed was lost and the aircraft nosed over and struck the ground. Witnesses to the accident reported observing the aircraft approximately 80 to 100 feet above the ground in a "nose high attitude" and then "descend at a 35 degree angle" prior to impact. Post-crash examination of the aircraft revealed structural damage to the engine mounts, fuselage, and firewall. The examination did not reveal any anomalies that could have led to a loss of control.
