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 MADE TWO PASSES TO SURVEY THE FIELD TO BE SPRAYED. HE STATED THAT ON HIS THIRD PASS, HE PULLED UP, MADE A SHALLOW LEFT TURN, LEVELED OFF, AND STARTED LOOKING TO THE RIGHT FOR OBSTRUCTIONS. REPORTEDLY, THE AIRCRAFT STARTED INTO A 10 DEGREE DIVE AT THAT TIME. THE PILOT REPORTED THAT HE REACHED FOR THE TRIM AND STARTED PULLING BACK ON THE STICK, BUT THE AIRCRAFT CONTINUED INTO A STEEP DIVE AND CRASHED. NO MALFUNCTION WAS FOUND THAT WOULD ACCOUNT FOR THE REPORTED CONTROL PROBLEM.
