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 17,500-hour commercial pilot was performing an aerial application flight on a northerly heading. The pilot was aware of the power lines along his intended spray pattern and he intended to "turn left before a creek and wooded area;" however, he delayed altering his route of flight and collided with the powerline. The pilot reported on the NTSB Pilot/Operator Aircraft Accident Report (NTSB Form 6120.1/2) that he "flew too far down the field to go under the power line to be able to turn, pull up, and avoid trees. The turbine powered agricultural airplane clipped the power line and flew into the trees. Weather at the time of the accident was reported as few clouds at 4,100 feet, winds from 260 degrees at 8 knots, temperature of 88 degrees Fahrenheit, and altimeter 29.88 inches of Mercury.
NTSB Probable Cause
The pilot's failure to maintain clearance with the power lines.
