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 INSTRUCTOR PLT STATED THAT AFTER PERFORMING 2 APCHS, EACH TO A FULL STOP LANDING, WHILE PREPARING TO TAKEOFF FOR A THIRD, HE RAISED THE FLAP SELECTOR HANDLE. AFTER DEPARTURE AT ABOUT 300 FT, HE REPORTED THAT THE ACFT WOULD NOT CLIMB. HE THEN SELECTED A FIELD FOR THE FORCED LANDING DURING WHICH, THE RT WING COLLIDED WITH A POWER LINE. THE ACFT STALLED & CRASHED IN THE FIELD. THERE WAS A MOMENTARY FIRE BUT IT EXTINGUISHED QUICKLY. HE FURTHER STATED THAT THE FLAPS WERE FOUND 20 DEGS DOWN BUT DOES NOT REMEMBER LOWERING THEM. THE ENG STARTED & OPERATED NORMALLY DURING THE POST-ACCIDENT ENG RUN.
NTSB Probable Cause
INSTRUCTOR PILOTS FAILURE TO ASSURE THAT THE FLAPS WERE IN THE PROPER POSITION FOR TAKEOFF RESULTING IN REDUCED CLIMB PERFORMANCE. THIS RESULTED IN THE FORCED LANDING, DURING WHICH, THE AIRPLANE COLLIDED WITH A POWER LINE, STALLED, THEN CRASHED TO THE GROUND.
