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 October 2, 1993, at 1115 eastern daylight time, a Cessna 150G, N2759S, sustained substantial damage when it nosed-over during landing rollout following a forced landing near Monroe, Michigan. The private pilot, who received minor injuries, reported a total loss of engine power. The personal flight originated at the Tecumseh Airport, Tecumseh, Michigan, with an intended destination of Monroe-Custer Airport, Monroe, Michigan. No flight plan was filed, and visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time. The pilot reported he was flying to Monroe to buy fuel for the airplane. In his written statement he said: "At 2200 feet and three miles west of the airport the engine quit. I attribute this to running out of gas. I erred in computing my available fuel."
