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 A LOCAL FLT, THE ACFT CRASHED ON THE SIDE OF A LEVEE WHILE MANEUVERING. BOTH PLTS WERE SERIOUSLY INJURED & NEITHER OF THEM COULD RECALL DETAILS OF THE FLT. AN EXAM OF THE CRASH SITE REVEALED THE PLANE WAS TRAVELING NEARLY PARALLEL WITH THE LEVEE WHEN IT CRASHED. GRASS (18 INCHES TALL) ON THE LEVEE HAD BEEN NEATLY SLICED PRIOR TO THE PRINCIPAL IMPACT. THE WIDTH OF THE SWATH MEASURED THE APRX WING SPAN OF THE LOWER WINGS. AFTER IMPACT, THE MAIN WRECKAGE TRAVELED ABOUT 100 FT BEFORE COMING TO REST. NO PREIMPACT/MECHANICAL PART FAILURE OR MALFUNCTION WAS EVIDENT.
