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 PLT/WITNESS RPTD THAT THE AIRPLANE FIRST FLEW OVER THE ARPT TO THE NORTH AT ABOUT 500 FT AGL, AND SUBSEQUENTLY PERFORMED A WINGOVER AT THE NORTH END OF THE ARPT.

A FEW SECONDS LATER, THE AIRPLANE PERFORMED ANOTHER WINGOVER; IT SUBSEQUENTLY DISAPPEARED INTO TREES AS IT RETURNED TO A NORTHERLY HEADING, IN A WINGS-LEVEL, SLIGHT NOSE- DOWN ATTITUDE. POST-CRASH EXAM OF THE AIRPLANE AND ENGINE REVEALED NO EVIDENCE OF PRE-EXISTING MECHANICAL MALFUNCTION OR FAILURE.
