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.

ON INITIAL CLIMB FROM TAKE-OFF, A PARTIAL POWER LOSS OCCURRED. CARB HEAT WAS SELECTED BUT PWR REMAINED AT A LEVEL TOO LOW TO SUSTAIN ALTITUDE AND A FORCED LANDING WAS EFFECTED IN ROUGH, WOODED TERRAIN. INVESTIGATION REVEALED NO DISCREPANCIES IN THE FUEL OR IGNITION SYSTEMS. THE ALTERNATE DUCT FOR INDUCTION AIR (CARB HEAT ON) WAS FOUND TO BE ALMOST TOTALLY BLOCKED BY A MUD DAUBER NEST. THE NORMAL INDUCTION AIR DUCT AND FILTER WERE IMPACT DAMAGED AND EVIDENCE OF BLOCKAGE COULD NOT BE CONCLUSIVELY DETERMINED. THE AIRCRAFT ANNUAL INSPECTION WAS 5 MONTHS OVERDUE.
