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 landed at the uncontrolled airport to refuel. After receiving an in-person weather briefing, he filed a VFR flight plan. He contacted the FSS on the airport advisory frequency and advised that he was taxiing and would be making an intersection takeoff on runway (RWY) 18. The FSS issued an airport advisory for RWY 18 and provided a traffic advisory concerning an aircraft on a VOR approach and a Cessna that had reported on downwind for RWY 07 about 1 minute earlier. However, the pilot remembered receiving only the barometric pressure setting. He stated that he did not hear other aircraft giving advisories on that frequency. As he taxied eastbound onto RWY 18, Cessna 152, N89255, was landing on RWY 07. Shortly after the pilot of N5037D began an immediate takeoff, he saw the Cessna 152 and applied brakes, but he did not stop until reaching the intersection of the runways. The Cessna 152 aircrew applied brakes and tried turning right, but their left wing tip hit the windshield of N5037D. The Cessna 152 aircrew were practicing crosswind landings.
