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.

On Friday, October 22, 1993, at 1505 eastern daylight time, a Beech BE-58, N13AK, registered to Tailwinds, Inc., and piloted by George A. Yetka, sustained substantial damage during a landing at the Millville Municipal Airport, Millville, New Jersey. The pilot and the one passenger were not injured. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed, and no flight plan was filed. The flight was being conducted under 14 CFR 91. The pilot landed on runway 28. He stated that as he slowed the airplane during the landing roll, he decided to raise the wing flaps. He said that he inadvertently activated the landing gear switch handle, rather than the flap switch handle. The landing gear collapsed, and the right wing struck a runway light and runway marker. In his report, the pilot stated: Prior to turning off the runway I reached for the flap switch. The next thing I knew I was sliding to the right...The plane came to rest on its belly...
