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 REPORTED THAT HE STARTED TO LOSE DIRECTIONAL CONTROL AND MADE A DECISION TO REDUCE POWER ON THE LEFT ENGINE AND LAND STRAIGHT AHEAD ON THE TERRAIN. THE PILOT FURTHER STATED THAT HE DID NOT FEATHER THE RIGHT PROPELLER. THE AIRPLANE SUSTAINED SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE AS THE RIGHT MAIN GEAR COLLAPSED DURING THE LANDING ROLL. AN ENGINE TEST RUN, WITH THE ENGINE ATTACHED TO THE AIRFRAME, WAS SUCCESSFUL, REVEALING NO CAUSE FOR THE POWER LOSS.
