Overall Trends
Total, fatal, and serious accidents in the selected range.
Search investigations, review source evidence, monitor watched reports, and trace long-term patterns from one calm, data-first workspace.
Fast key and full-text search with live filters, watches, and precise metadata.
Use quotes for exact phrase matches (for example "fuel selector valve").
Track fatal and non-fatal accident patterns across Part 91, Part 135, and Part 121 operations.
Major cases, deep-report coverage, and investigation media across decades of NTSB history.
Move quickly by aircraft, airport, operator, and time with indexes built for research, not wandering.
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 HANGAR AND NOSED OVER AFTER A LOSS OF CONTROL WHILE LANDING. THE WIND WAS FROM 330 DEGREES AT 20 KTS GUSTING TO 35 KTS. RWY 03 WAS FAVORED. THE PLT USED FULL FLAPS AND FLARED TO 60 KTS FOR LANDING. WHEN THE ACFT STARTED DRIFTING OFF THE RWY WITH WINGS LEVEL THE PLT REPORTEDLY ADDED POWER. WHEN THE DRIFT CONTINUED HE ADDED MORE POWER TO FULL THROTTLE. AS THE PLT TRIED TO REGAIN THE RWY A GUST OF WIND ROLLED THE ACFT INTO A 20 DEGREE RIGHT BANK. AT THIS POINT THE ACFT WAS 1/2 WAY DOWN THE RWY AND A GO-AROUND WAS ATTEMPTED. FLAPS WERE RAISED TO 1/2. A PART OFTHE ACFT HIT A POST NEAR A TAXIWAY. SHORTLY AFTERWARD THE ACFT MAIN GEAR HIT THE ROOF OF A 15 FT HIGH ACFT. CONTROL WAS LOST AND THE ACFT PITCHED DOWN INTO THE GROUND. THE PLT SAID LATER THAT HE THOUGHT THE RECOMMENDED CROSSWINDLANDING WAS MADE WITH FULL FLAPS. THE HANDBOOK SAYS USE MINIMUM FLAPS OR A FLAPS UP APPROACH SPEED OF 80 KIAS MAY BE USED, FIELD LENGTH PERMITTING.
