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.

A J-5 AND PA-38-112 COLLIDED ON A TAXIWAY WHILE PREPARING FOR VISUAL DEPARTURES FROM THE SAME RUNWAY. THE PA-38 FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR AND STUDENT PILOT WERE CONDUCTING A BEFORE TAKEOFF RUNUP WHEN THEY NOTICED THAT THE COLLISION WAS POSSIBLE. THE PA-38 PILOTS ATTEMPTED TO AVOID THE COLLISION BUT WERE UNABLE TO EXIT THE TAXIWAY BEFORE THE COLLISION. ACCORDING TO THE J-5 PILOT, HE WAS NOT 'S' TURNING, WHICH IS A NORMAL PROCEDURE FOR TAXIING CONVENTIONAL GEAR AIRPLANES, AND FAILED TO SEE THE PIPER IN SUFFICIENT TIME TO AVOID THE COLLISION.
NTSB Probable Cause
THE OTHER PILOT'S FAILURE TO MAINTAIN ADEQUATE VISUAL LOOKOUT.
