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 AIRCRAFT'S LANDING GEAR COLLAPSED AFTER THE PLANE WENT OFF THE RIGHT SIDE OF RUNWAY 23 DURING TAKEOFF. REPORTEDLY, THE AIRCRAFT DRIFTED TO THE RIGHT OF CENTERLINE ON A FAIRLY CONSTANT ARC UNTIL CONTACTING A SNOW BERM AT A TAXIWAY INTERSECTION. AN INVESTIGATION REVEALED THAT THE TAKEOFF WAS BEING CONDUCTED AT NIGHT WITH A PARTIALLY OBSCURED WINDSHIELD. VISIBILITY WAS ONE MILE WITH FOG AND FALLING SNOW, AND THE WIND WAS FROM 150 DEGREES AT 11 KNOTS. THE RUNWAY WAS COVERED WITH ABOUT 1/4 INCH OF SNOW. THE COPILOT'S DUTIES REQUIRED HIM TO SCAN 'INSIDE' THE COCKPIT, WHILE HE 'FINE TUNED' THE POWER SETTINGS AND CHECKED ENGINE INSTRUMENTS DURING THE TAKEOFF ROLL. NO PRE-ACCIDENT PART FAILURE OR MALFUNCTION OF THE AIRCRAFT WAS FOUND DURING THE INVESTIGATION.
