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 24, 1995, about 1255 eastern daylight time, N81222, a Fairchild 24W-46, registered to the pilot, crashed in Callahan, Florida, while on a 14 CFR Part 91 personal flight. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time and no flight plan was filed. The airplane was substantially damaged and the pilot, the sole occupant, reported no injuries. The flight originated from Moultrie, Georgia, about 1200 the same day. The pilot stated the engine began to run rough and he was able to determine one magneto was inoperative. Shortly thereafter the engine began to lose more power. He then initiated a precautionary landing to a road, due to loss of engine power. During the landing the wing struck a tree and damaged the wing and lift struts.
