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 November 1, 1993, about 1544 eastern standard time, N210TK, a Cessna P210-N, operated by Prop Jet International Inc., ditched off the beach in Fort Lauderdale, Florida after an engine failure on a 14 CFR 91 ferry flight. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time and an IFR flight plan had been filed and activated. The airplane was not recovered and is presumed to be destroyed, and the pilot received minor injuries. The flight originated from Robert Owens International Airport, Grand Cayman, about 1400 the same day. The pilot stated that while descending to 3,000 feet he added power to level off and the engine began to run rough and eventually quit. He then declared an emergency and executed a forced landing, ditching to the ocean. He exited the airplane after touchdown and inflated his PFD and raft. About 45 minutes later he was rescued by the U.S. Coast Guard. The airplane was not recovered from the water therefore the airplane and engine could not be examined.
