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 September 11, 1993, at 1430 central daylight time, a Beech BE-35, N650V, sustained substantial damage when it collided with a parked snow plow during a forced landing near Marshfield, Missouri. The airplane had experienced a total loss of engine power in cruise flight. The commercial pilot, who was the sole occupant of the airplane, was not injured. The personal flight originated at Quincy, Illinois, at 1240. No flight plan was filed, and visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time. The Federal Aviation Administration inspector who examined the airplane reported the fuel selector handle had broken off and the valve could not be moved to another tank. The selector was positioned to the right tank which was empty. The left tank was full.
