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.
San Francisco, CA
During arrival, the winds were reported from 350 to 360 deg at 20 gusting 25 kts, and while landing, they were from 360 deg at 21 kts. The acft's max demo x-wind capability was 22 kts. The plt reported that during the landing, the power levers were retarded to idle, then to reverse. While entering reverse, the acft swerved to the left, away from the x-wind. The plt then advanced the throttles out of reverse to less than flt idle. At that time, the acft swerved to the right. The power levers were again reversed & brakes were applied. However, the acft veered off the right side of the rwy. It continued into mud, the nose gear collapsed & both props were damaged. The plt did not feather the engs until after both props had stopped turning. The right prop was found in the full feathered position, the left prop had not feathered. Removal of the right prop dome revealed no apparent abnormalities or internal damage. There was evidence that the left prop had gone beyond full reverse on impact. No preimpact failure was found.
