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.

THE PLT SAID ALL PRE-FLT PREP WERE NORMAL INCLUDING AN ENG RUN-UP. THE TAKEOFF WAS BEING MADE WITH LIGHT WINDS. AFTER ROLLING ABOUT 300 FT THE ACFT BEGAN A SWERVE TO THE RT WHICH THE PLT PERCEIVED WAS ASSOCIATED WITH A LOSS OF PWR ON THE RT ENG. THE PLT INITIATED AN ABORT AND BEGAN HEAVY BRAKING. THE ACFT CONTINUED IN A RT SWERVE AND DEPARTED THE RT SIDE OF THE RWY. THE FIELD ADJACENT TO THE RWY WAS PLOWED AND WAS ROUGH AND UNEVEN. WHEN THE NOSE WHEEL ENCOUNTERED A 12 IN DEEP FURROW THE NOSE GEAR COLLAPSED AND THE ACFT NOSED OVER. FAA EXAMINED THE WRECKAGE AND COULD NOT FIND ANY EVIDENCE TO EXPLAIN THE REPORTED LOSS OF PWR. THE INSPECTOR SAID LOCKED BRAKE SKID MARKS WERE FOUND ON THE RWY WHICH COULD BE ASSOCIATED WITH THE MAIN GEAR OF THE ACDT ACFT. HE SAID THE SKID MARKS BEGAN OPPOSITE EACH OTHER AND LED TO THE FINAL RESTING PLACE OF THE ACFT.
