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 PILOT STATED THAT THE ENGINE LOST POWER AND THE AIRPLANE STRUCK A TREE AND CAME TO REST ON THE ROOF OF A HOUSE AFTER THE FORCED LANDING. EXAMINATION OF THE AIRPLANE BY FAA PERSONNEL REVEALED THAT THE FUEL SELECTOR WAS IN THE OFF POSTION AND THERE WAS NO FUEL IN THE GASCOLATOR.
THE IMPROPER POSITIONING OF THE FUEL SELECTOR BY THE PILOT-IN- COMMAND RESULTING IN FUEL STARVATION.
On November 25, 1993, about 1155 eastern standard time, N89900, a Cessna 172P, registered to Gulf Aircraft Leasing, crashed into a residence in Jacksonville, Florida, while on a local 14 CFR Part 91 personal flight. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time and no flight plan was filed. The airplane was substantially damaged and the pilot and passenger reported no injuries. The flight originated from Jacksonville, Florida, about 1 hour earlier. The pilot reported the engine failed while in descent for landing, and he attempted a forced landing to a field in a residential area. During the landing a gust of wind blew the airplane into a tree and the airplane came to rest on the roof of an unoccupied residence. Examination of the airplane after the accident by FAA personnel revealed that the fuel selector was in the off position and there was no fuel in the gascolator. .
