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.

DURING THE FORCED LANDING IN A FIELD THE ACFT NOSED OVER. EXAM OF THE ENG REVEALED THAT THE FUEL FLOW DIVIDER CONTAINED GROSS QUANTITIES OF CONTAMINANTS. ACCORDING TO A MECHANIC, THE CONTAMINANTS COULD HAVE BLOCKED FUEL TO ONE OR MORE CYLINDERS RESULTING IN THE EXCESS FUEL TO BE USED BY THE CYLINDER(S) THAT WERE PROVIDED BY AN UNOBSTRUCTED FLOW OR FUEL. THE MECHANIC ALSO STATED THAT DURING AN ANNUAL INSP, THE FLOW DIVIDER IS NOT DISASSEMBLED FOR INSPECTION.
