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 PLT/OWNER OF THE NEW HOME BUILT ACFT MADE SVRL TAXI CHECKS BEFORE THE 1ST FLT. CHECKS WERE MADE WITH THE NOSEWHEEL OFF THE RWY & A LIFT-OFF TO ABOUT 10 FT AGL. DURING TAKEOFF, AT ABOUT 100 FT AGL, THE ENG LOST POWER. THE PLT ELECTED TO LAND ON THE OVERRUN AT THE DEP END OF THE RWY, BUT THE ENG BEGAN RUNNING AGAIN, SO HE ELECTED TO CONT THE TAKEOFF & RETURN TO THE RWY FOR LANDING. HOWEVER, THE ENG LOST POWER AGAIN & THE PLT WAS FORCED TO LAND IN TREES BEYOND THE DEP END OF THE RWY. A POST-ACDNT EXAM OF THE ACFT REVEALED THE FUEL VENT WAS BLOCKED BY A MUD DAUBER NEST.
NTSB Probable Cause
FUEL STARVATION DUE THE FUEL VENT BEING BLOCKED BY A MUD DAUBER NEST AND THE PILOT'S FAILURE TO FIND THE OBSTRUCTION (INADEQUATE PREFLIGHT) BEFORE TAKING OFF. TREES BEYOND THE DEPARTURE END OF THE RUNWAY WERE A RELATED FACTOR.
