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.
Rome, GA
After a normal parachute drop at 13,000 feet, the pilot initiated a descent. As the airplane descended to 2300 feet, both engines lost power. Unable to restart either engine, the pilot initiated an emergency landing to runway 9 at the departure airport. However, before reaching the runway, the airplane collided with vegetation and the airport perimeter fence. An examination of the airplane failed to disclose a mechanical problem. No usable fuel was found in the fuel system during the postaccident examination.
the pilot's improper planning/decision, which resulted in fuel exhaustion and loss of engine power in both engines, due to an inadequate supply of fuel.
On June 15, 1996, at 1140 eastern daylight time, a Cessna 411, N3203R, collided with all vegetation while maneuvering for an emergency landing to runway 09 at the Richard B. Russell Airport in Rome, Georgia. The parachute drop flight was operated under the provisions of Title 14 CFR Part 91, with no flight plan filed. Visual weather conditions prevailed at the time of the accident. The airplane was substantially damaged, and the pilot was not injured. The flight departed Rome, Georgia, at 1119. According to the pilot, a normal parachute drop was made from 13,000 feet, afterward, he initiated a descent. As the airplane descended to 2300 feet, both engines quit. After several failed attempts to restart both engines, the pilot attempted an emergency landing to runway 09 at Rome. The airplane collided with tall vegetation and the airport perimeter fence while maneuvering for the emergency landing. An examination of the airplane failed to disclose a mechanical problem. There was no fuel recovered from the fuel system during the wreckage examination (see attached Inspector's Statement).
