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 LANDING SITE SELECTED BY THE PILOT WAS A POPULAR BEACH, NORMALLY OCCUPIED BY LOCAL RESIDENTS OF A NEARBY COMMUNITY. HOWEVER, THE PILOT STATED THAT HE HAD SELECTED THE BEACH FOR LANDING SO HE AND THE PAX COULD LOOK AT LOCAL FISHING SITES.
