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.

A US COAST GUARD DASSAULT BREGUET HU-25A WAS CLIMBING FROM LOW ALT AS A CESSNA 337D WAS CRUISING IN THE SAME AREA AT 4000 FT MSL. SUBSEQUENTLY, THE 2 ACFT CONVERGED. THE CESSNA PLT SAID HE WAS ADJUSTING HIS NAV RADIO TO INTERCEPT AN AIRWAY, WHEN A PSGR WARNED HIM OF THE SITUATION. AS HE LOOKED OUTSIDE, HE SAW THE DASSAULT CONVERGING AT A HI RATE OF SPEED. THE DASSAULT PLT SAID THEY WERE ROLLING OUT OF A LEFT TURN, WHEN THEY SAW THE CESSNA CONVERGING. THE PLTS OF BOTH ACFT INITIATED EVASIVE ACTION, BUT THE VERTICAL STABILIZER OF THE DASSAULT HIT THE BAGGAGE POD ON THE CESSNA. BOTH PLANES CONTINUED FLYING & LANDED SAFELY.
NTSB Probable Cause
INADEQUATE VISUAL LOOKOUT BY THE PILOTS OF BOTH AIRCRAFT, RESULTED IN THEIR FAILURE TO SEE-AND-AVOID THE OTHER AIRCRAFT.
