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 STUDENT PILOT DEPARTED FROM THE AIRPORT IN HIS UNREGISTERED, SINGLE SEAT, HOME BUILT AIRPLANE. HIS DAUGHTER WAS SEATED ON HIS LAP, BETWEEN HIS BODY AND THE FLIGHT CONTROLS. ACCORDING TO THE STUDENT PILOT, AT APPROXIMATELY 400 FEET MEAN SEA LEVEL, THE ENGINE LOST POWER. HE ATTEMPTED A LANDING ON A DIRT ROAD IN A NEARBY TREE NURSERY AND THE AIRPLANE COLLIDED WITH THE TERRAIN. THE STUDENT CONSIDERED THIS AN ULTRALIGHT, BUT HE ESTIMATED IT HAD A SPEED OF 95 TO 100 MPH, ITS EMPTY WEIGHT WAS ABOUT 300 LBS, AND ITS 10 GAL FUEL TANK HAD ABOUT 8 GAL OF FUEL REMAINING. THERE WERE NO RECORDS FOR THE AIRCRAFT AND THE PILOT OWNER COULD NOT SUPPLY A LIST OF INSTALLED COMPONENTS TO COMPUTE ITS EMPTY WEIGHT.
NTSB Probable Cause
