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 ACFT CRASHED INTO A HOUSE WHILE ON AN ILS APPROACH TO RWY 11 AT HANSCOM FIELD. SHORTLY BEFORE THE ACFT HAD REACHED THE OUTER MARKER (AND AFTER THE HAND OFF FROM BOSTON APPROACH CONTROL TO HANSCOM TOWER) AN ALTITUDE ALERT ON N4467X WAS RECEIVED BY THE BOSTON APPROACH RADAR CONTROLLER.

THIS WAS THE THIRD INSTANCE DURING THE FLT WHERE A DISCREPANCY BETWEEN THE BAROMETRIC ALTIMETER AND THE ENCODING ALTIMETER CAME TO LIGHT. INVESTIGATION ALSO REVEALED THAT THE ACCIDENT OCCURRED AT THE END OF AN 18 HR WORK DAY FOR THE PLT WHO HAD ALSO BEEN ILL WITH THE FLU DURING THE WEEKEND PRECEEDING THE ACCIDENT.
