Overall Trends
Total, fatal, and serious accidents in the selected range.
Search investigations, review source evidence, monitor watched reports, and trace long-term patterns from one calm, data-first workspace.
Fast key and full-text search with live filters, watches, and precise metadata.
Use quotes for exact phrase matches (for example "fuel selector valve").
Track fatal and non-fatal accident patterns across Part 91, Part 135, and Part 121 operations.
Major cases, deep-report coverage, and investigation media across decades of NTSB history.
Move quickly by aircraft, airport, operator, and time with indexes built for research, not wandering.
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.

BEFORE TKOF, THE PLT WAS BRIEFED ON FLT PRECAUTIONS FOR IFR & SNOW; HOWEVER, HE WAS NOT ADZD OF ICING CONDS IN CLOUDS & PRECIP ABOVE THE FREEZING LVL TO 18,000' AS CAUTIONED IN THE CURRENT AREA FORECAST. WHILE CLIMBING AFTER TKOF, HE ENCTRD CLOUDS & 'SOME LIGHT ICING' BTN 5500' & 6000'. HE CONTD AN EN ROUTE CLIMB UNTIL IN THE CLEAR AT ABOUT 10,000'. DRG THE CLIMB, PREDOMINANTLY RIME ICE & SOME MIXED ICE ACCUMULATED ON THE WINDSHIELD & WINGS. DRG DSCNT TO THE DESTN, SIMILAR ICING CONDS WERE ENCTRD UNTIL THE ACFT WAS IN THE CLEAR AT APRX 4600'. THE PLT THEN FLEW IN VFR CONDS TO CLEAR HIS WINDSHIELD. ESTIMATING ABT 1/4' OF ICE ON THE WINGS, THE PLT BEGAN A TURN TO FINAL AT APRX 600' TO 700' AGL WITH A 10 KT SAFETY MARGIN (90 KTS). HOWEVER, DRG THE TURN, THE ACFT STALLED. THE PLT STATED HE APPLIED CORRECTIVE ACTION, BUT THE ENG DID NOT RESPOND TO APPLICATION OF FULL THROTTLE. BEFORE RECOVERING, THE ACFT STRUCK THE GND & SLID APRX 300' TO A STOP. AFTER THE ACDNT, ICE WAS FND ON THE WINGS WHICH WAS APRX 3/4' THICK AT THE LEADING EDGES.
