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 FINAL APPROACH ABOUT 1.5 MILES FROM THE ARPT THE POWER LOSS OCCURRED AS THE PILOT ATTEMPTED TO ADD POWER. AFTER FLYING OVER A RIDGE AND SEVERAL TREES THE ACFT TOUCHED DOWN IN THE ROUGH TERRAIN AND CAUGHT FIRE. THE FIRE APPEARED TO HAVE STARTED IN THE VICINITY OF THE FUEL STRAINER AND PROGRESSED REARWARD. THERE WERE NO INDICATIONS OF FIRE UNTIL THE ACFT CAME TO REST. THE ONLY DISCREPANCY NOTED DURING INSPECTION OF THE ACFT & ENG WAS THAT 3 LEFT BANK FUEL INJECTORS WERE BLOCKED WITH A SUBSTANCE LATER IDENTIFIED AS PRIMARILY BEING DIRT.
