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.

Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time and no flight plan was filed for the local flight. The airplane was substantially damaged, the pilot received minor injuries and the passenger was seriously injured. The flight was originating at the time of the accident. Witnesses observed the airplane take off, bank left, appear to stall and pitch nose down and crash. The pilot stated that shortly after takeoff the airplane began to yaw to the left and lose altitude, then collide with the ground. A postcrash examination of the airplane by an FAA inspector revealed no preimpact malfuntion of the flight controls.
