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 STATED THAT WHEN SHE REDUCED POWER DURING SHORT FINAL APPROACH FOR THE LANDING, THE ENGINE FAILED COMPLETELY. THE AIRCRAFT IMPACTED THE GROUND ABRUPTLY, APPROXIMATELY 200 FEET FROM THE APPROACH END OF THE LANDING RUNWAY, AND FLIPPED OVER, COMING TO REST INVERTED. POST-ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION REVEALED NO EVIDENCE OF MECHANICAL MALFUNCTION/DIFFICULTY WHICH WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN A LOSS OF ENGINE POWER, AND THE ENGINE STARTED AND RAN NORMALLY AT LOW POWER SETTINGS. THE ENGINE WAS RUN AT LOW POWER SETTINGS ONLY DUE TO DAMAGE TO THE PROPELLER, AND A BROKEN ENGINE MOUNT.

NTSB Probable Cause

THE LOSS OF ENGINE POWER FOR UNDETERMINED REASONS AND THE INADVERTENT STALL DURING THE FORCED LANDING.
