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.

While in cruise flight, a Cessna 210G experienced a total loss of engine power, and the pilot performed a forced landing to a field. During the landing, the airplane's right wing and right main landing gear struck a fence, the airplane skidded laterally across the field, and the left main landing gear and nose gear collapsed. The pilot stated that the engine lost power without warning, and the fuel quantity indicators showed "better than 1/2 tank on both gauges." Examination of the airplane revealed that the fuel selector was set to the left wing fuel tank position, and the left wing fuel tank contained no fuel. In addition, the right wing fuel tank was approximately 2/3 full. No deficiencies or anomalies were noted with the fuel system, the fuel quantity indicators, or the engine.
NTSB Probable Cause
The pilot's improper fuel tank selection, which resulted in fuel starvation, and subsequent loss of engine power.
