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.

Full Narrative

On August 21, 2000, about 0710 central daylight time, a homebuilt Christian Quicksilver, non-registered aircraft, impacted with trees just after takeoff from a private airstrip, near Booneville, Mississippi. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time, and no flight plan was filed for the 14 CFR Part 91 personal flight. The airplane was substantially damaged. The non-rated pilot and one passenger reported serious injuries. The flight was originating at the time. The pilot stated, "...soon after takeoff [about] 15 feet the ultra light aircraft stalled on the wing causing the ultra light to go into a left turn sending it towards a small tree about 15-18 feet. The ultra light struck the top of the tree and forced us to the ground." According to the FAA, the pilot did not have a pilot or medical certificate. The pilot had only 1 hour of flight training in all aircraft, and about 15 hours in this make and model. This accident was originally reported as a nonregistered ultralight. The FAA later realized it was a two-seat aircraft and needed to be reported as accident.
