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.

DRG ARRIVAL, THE ACFT WAS VECTORED TO INTERCEPT THE ILS RWY 27 LOCALIZER (LOC) BFR REACHING THE MUNCI INITIAL APCH FIX (IAF), WHICH WAS 21.5 MI FM THE RWY. THE ATC CONTROLLER (CTLR) TOLD THE PLT TO MAINT 4000' UNTIL ON THE LOC, THEN CLRD HIM FOR THE APCH. FROM THE IAF, THE MIN ALT ON THE APCH WAS 3700' UNTIL INTERCEPTING THE ILS GLIDE SLOPE (GS) AT THE PICTURE ROCKS NDB (FAF). THE NDB WAS 9.4 MI FROM THE ARPT; THE OUTER MARKER (OM) WAS 4.8 MI FROM THE RWY. AS THE PLT CONTD, HE RPRTD THAT HIS INSTRUMENTS SHOWED HE WAS ON THE GS AT 2700', BUT THAT HE WAS STILL HEADED INBND TWD THE NDB. THE CTLR WARNED THAT THE ACFT SHOULD BE AT 3700' UNTIL REACHING THE NDB & REPEATED THE ALTIMETER SETTING. MOMENTS THERE-AFTER, THE CTLR LOST CONTACT WITH THE ACFT. IT CRASHED NR THE TOP OF A HILL ON WOODED TERRAIN AT AN ELEV OF ABOUT 2400',APRX 9 MI BFR REACHING THE NDB. AN EXAM REVEALED THE ACFT NAV EQUIP WAS PROPERLY SET. NO PREIMPACT MALFUNCTION OR FAIL- URE WAS FND. THE ILS SYS WAS FLT CHECKED & FND TO OPERATE NORMALLY.
