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.

A 2,350-hour commercial pilot completed a 393-nautical mile cross-country flight, and was preparing to land at his destination airport when he experienced a total loss of engine power while on final approach. The single-engine airplane landed short of the 3,960-foot long runway, slid, and came to rest about 100 feet short of the runway threshold. An FAA inspector, who examined the airplane, reported that the engine firewall was wrinkled and confirmed that there was fuel present in the left fuel tank. He added that witnesses reported observing fuel draining from the right wing after the accident. The pilot reported that the power loss was the result of a faulty fuel pump. Examination of the fuel pump and engine by an airframe and power plant mechanic did not reveal any anomalies or mechanical deficiencies. The reason for the loss of engine power could not be determined.

NTSB Probable Cause

The loss of engine power for undetermined reasons. A contributing factor was the lack of suitable terrain for the forced landing.
