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 PILOT UTILIZED A SOFT FIELD TECHNIQUE AND COMMENCED HIS TAKEOFF FROM THE RUNWAY THRESHOLD. DURING TAKEOFF RUN HE OBSERVED THE RUNWAY END MARKERS AND ELECTED TO PUT DOWN FULL FLAPS. THE AIRCRAFT BECAME AIRBORNE JUST BEFORE COLLIDING WITH THE END MARKER AND SUBSEQUENTLY SETTLING INTO TREES LOCATED OFF THE END OF THE RUNWAY. RESEARCH REVEALED THAT A NOTAM, INITIATED BY THE PILOT, HAD BEEN IN EFFECT 5 DAYS PRIOR TO THE ACCIDENT WHICH CLOSED THE RUNWAY UNTIL CONDITIONS IMPROVED.
