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 28, 1995 at 0930 central daylight time, a Rockwell International S-2R, N4182X, was substantially damaged during takeoff near Edna, Texas. The commercial pilot was not injured. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed for the 14 CFR Part 137 aerial application flight and no flight plan was filed. In the Pilot/Operator report, the pilot stated that the left main gear collapsed during the takeoff roll "at about 65 mph." Post- crash examination of the aircraft and accident sight by a Federal Aviation Administration inspector revealed that the aircraft came to rest in a ditch after striking a fence post with the left wing and farm equipment with the right wing. Both wings were structurally damaged.
