Fast key and full-text search with live filters, watches, and precise metadata.
Use quotes for exact phrase matches (for example "fuel selector valve").
Track fatal and non-fatal accident patterns across Part 91, Part 135, and Part 121 operations.

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.
Soldier Summit, UT
ONE OF 3 AVID AIRCRAFT MARK IV'S IN A CROSS COUNTRY FLIGHT ENCOUNTERED A TOTAL POWER LOSS WHILE CRUISING AT 8500 FEET MSL. THE PILOT WAS UNABLE TO RESTART THE ENGINE AND EXECUTED A FORCED LANDING ON SNOW COVERED TERRAIN DURING WHICH THE AIRCRAFT NOSED OVER. THE AIRCRAFT HAD SUSTAINED A SIMILAR POWER LOSS ON THE PREVIOUS DAY'S FLIGHT AND THE ENGINE DRIVEN PULSE TYPE FUEL PUMP HAD BEEN REPLACED 147 HOURS PREVIOUS IN ANOTHER POWER LOSS OCCURRENCE. THE PILOT REPORTED THAT INSUFFICIENT FUEL PUMP PRESSURE RESULTED IN FUEL STARVATION AND THE SUBSEQUENT POWER LOSS.
THE FUEL PUMP DELIVERING TOO LOW FUEL PRESSURE. A FACTOR CONTRIBUTING TO THE ACCIDENT WAS THE SNOW COVERED TERRAIN.
