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.

THE PILOT STATED THE AIRPLANE AND ENGINE SEEMED TO OPERATE NORMALLY DURING A BRIEF LOCAL FLIGHT. HE RETURNED TO THE HOME BASE AIRPORT AND PERFORMED A TOUCH AND GO. DURING THE INITIAL CLIMB THE PILOT NOTICED A DECREASED RATE OF CLIMB AND ENGINE RPM. THE PILOT BELIEVED IT WAS TOO LATE TO PUT THE AIRPLANE BACK DOWN ON THE RUNWAY, SO HE TRIED TO 'MILK IT AROUND' TO LAND. THE AIRPLANE BEGAN A GRADUAL DESCENT INTO TREES AND A HOUSE BEFORE IT CAME TO REST ON A ROAD IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA. POST-ACCIDENT EXAMINATION REVEALED NO EVIDENCE OF PRE-IMPACT MECHANICAL MALFUNCTION. THE PILOT STATED HE BELIEVED CARBURETOR ICING MAY HAVE CAUSED THE LOSS OF ENGINE POWER. THE TEMPERATURE/DEWPOINT PROVIDED BY THE PILOT WERE NOTED ON A CARBURETOR ICING PROBABILITY CHART. THE RESULT INDICATED A PROBABILITY FOR MODERATE ICING AT CRUISE POWER/SERIOUS ICING AT GLIDE POWER.
NTSB Probable Cause
A LOSS OF ENGINE POWER DUE TO CARBURETOR ICE. THE LACK OF SUITABLE TERRAIN FOR THE FORCED LANDING WAS A FACTOR.
