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.

According to the CFI and Private pilot, the purpose of the flight was an IFR cross-country training flight for the instrument student. The route of flight was from Naples, to Miami, Opa Locka, Vero Beach and return to Naples. They stated that they climbed to 5,000 feet on their way to Miami. As they got closer to Miami, they were vectored around some thunderstorms that had moved into the Miami area. They continued up to Vero Beach where they did a full VOR approach. Following the approach, they were vectored for 15 to 20 minutes before they were cleared to Ft. Myers. At Ft. Myers, they requested an ILS approach into Page field but later cancelled their request and headed to Naples where they requested vectors to final for the NDB 23 approach. They said that a few minutes after being handed off to the Naples Tower, they experienced engine trouble. The CFI took control of the airplane and did a forced landing into a field 7 miles northeast of the airport. Examination of the right fuel tank found 1/8-inch of fuel remaining when it was measured with a ruler and 1/2-inch of fuel remaining in the left fuel tank. Neither fuel tank sustained damage during the forced landing. According to the airplane's owner, the airplane holds 24 gallons of fuel and has a flight duration of 4.0 hours when topped off.

NTSB Probable Cause

The CFI's mismanagement of the fuel supply, which resulted in fuel exhaustion.
