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.

WHILE CRUISING APPROXIMATELY 1,000 FEET ABOVE TREE TOPS AND BETWEEN TWO MOUNTAINS, THE AIRPLANE ENCOUNTERED A DOWNDRAFT. THE PILOT SAID REGARDLESS OF SURFACE CONTROL INPUT, HE COULD NOT MAKE THE AIRPLANE ASCEND. HE TRIED TO MANEUVER THE AIRPLANE INTO SAFER AIR SPACE, BUT THERE WAS NONE. THE PILOT SAID HE THEN SLOWED THE AIRPLANE DOWN AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE AND STALLED IT INTO THE TREE TOPS. THE AIRPLANE 'MUSHED' INTO THE TREES AND CAME TO REST UPRIGHT SUSPENDED ABOVE THE GROUND.
NTSB Probable Cause
THE PILOT'S FAILURE TO SELECT A SAFE ALTITUDE FOR FLIGHT IN MOUNTAINOUS TERRAIN. THE DOWNDRAFT WAS A FACTOR.
