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 commercial pilot of the tailwheel-equipped bi-plane was performing a local aerial application flight. During the flight, the lower left wing collided with a tree limb. The pilot elected to land in an open field to examine the damage sustained by the airplane. The operator concluded that the left lower wing had sustained structural damage and required replacement. The wing was replaced in the field and the airplane was flown back to the operator's facility. Neither the pilot nor the operator reported the accident to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) or the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) until after the repair had been made. Multiple attempts to obtain a completed Pilot/Operator Aircraft Accident Report (NTSB Form 6120.1) from the operator were unsuccessful.
NTSB Probable Cause
The pilot's failure to maintain clearance from trees while maneuvering during aerial application.
