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 COLLIDED WITH A FENCE DURING A FORCED LANDING IN A GRASS FIELD. THE PLT STATED THAT DURING PRE-FLIGHT, HE FOUND ABOUT 7 GALLONS OF FUEL ABOARD THE ACFT. HIS FLIGHT WAS TO BE ONLY 20 MINUTES OF AIR WORK. SOME TIME WAS ADDED IN LOCATING GROUND REFERENCE POINTS, AND AFTER SOME MANEUVERING AT FULL POWER, THE ENGINE STOPPED. RESTART PROCEDURES DID NOT SUCCEED, SO A FORCED LANDING WAS MADE. NO FUEL WAS VISIBLE IN THE AIRCRAFT'S FUEL TANK AFTER THE ACCIDENT.
