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 pilot, the unregistered, amateur-built Carlson Aircraft Sparrow experienced a partial loss of engine power approximately 40 feet above ground level, during the initial climb. The non-certificated pilot elected to return to the airport, and during a turn toward the runway, the airplane "stalled." The airplane impacted the ground in a right wing low attitude, resulting in substantial damage. An examination of the airframe and engine by a Federal Aviation Administration inspector revealed no mechanical abnormalities.
NTSB Probable Cause
The pilot's failure to maintain airspeed, which resulted in an inadvertent stall and impact with terrain. A factor in the accident was the partial loss of engine power for undetermined reasons.
