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 INSTRUCTOR PLT DECIDED TO LEAVE THE STUDENT THERE & FLY THE ACFT BACK TO THE ARPT. HE WALKED DOWN THE FIELD & MADE AN 'X' IN THE DAMP 6 INCH TALL GRASS WHERE HE WOULD ABORT THE TAKEOFF, IF NECESSARY. HE INITIATED A TAKEOFF, BUT WAS NOT AIRBORNE BY THE TIME HE REACHED THE 'X', SO HE ABORTED.
