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 FLIGHT WAS ON A FOUR MILE FINAL APPROACH TO RUNWAY 1 LEFT WHEN THE ENGINE QUIT. THE AIRCRAFT MADE A SUCCESSFUL TOUCHDOWN ON A CITY STREET AND COLLIDED WITH SEVERAL STREET SIGN POSTS DURING THE LANDING ROLL. INSPECTION OF THE AIRCRAFT CONFIRMED THAT NO FUEL WAS PRESENT IN EITHER FUEL TANK. THE PILOT SAID THAT HE USED A DIPSTICK ON THE FUEL TANKS PRIOR TO DEPARTURE AND ASCERTAINED THAT EACH OF THE TWO TANKS CONTAINED AT LEAST 21 GALLONS OF FUEL. DURING THE FLIGHT ONE PASSENGER COMPLAINED TO THE PILOT THAT SHE COULD SMELL A FUEL ODOR. THE PILOT SAID HE LOOKED AT BOTH WINGS FOR EVIDENCE OF FUEL LEAKAGE, HOWEVER SAW NONE. AFTER THE ACCIDENT THE PILOT INSPECTED THE FUEL FILLER CAPS FOR SECURITY. HE FOUND THAT THE RIGHT CAP WAS NOT IN THE FULLY CLOSED POSITION.

NTSB Probable Cause

FUEL EXHAUSTION DUE TO FUEL SIPHONING IN FLIGHT FROM AN UNSECURED FILLER CAP. THE INACCURATE PREFLIGHT INSPECTION OF THE AIRCRAFT BY THE PILOT WAS ALSO CAUSAL IN THIS ACCIDENT.
