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.

THE PILOT STATED IT WAS DARK OUT WHEN THEY RETURNED TO THEIR HOME BASE AFTER A PLEASURE TRIP. A CAR WAS PARKED NEXT TO THE HANGAR, AND THE PILOT RATED PASSENGER DECIDED TO 'GET OUT AND WALK THE WING' BECAUSE OF THE CLOSE QUARTERS. THE PILOT REPORTED THE AIRPLANE WAS STOPPED AND HE WAS LOOKING OUT THE LEFT SIDE WINDOW AS THE PASSENGER STEPPED OUT ON THE WING. HE STATED '...I TURNED AROUND JUST AS SHE JUMPED OFF THE AIRCRAFT FROM THE FRONT SIDE...RIGHT INTO THE PROPELLER...OBVIOUSLY NOT THINKING ABOUT WHAT SHE HAD...DONE.' THE PASSENGER IS A PRIVATE PILOT WITH ABOUT 800 HOURS TOTAL FLIGHT TIME.
