Overall Trends
Total, fatal, and serious accidents in the selected range.
Search investigations, review source evidence, monitor watched reports, and trace long-term patterns from one calm, data-first workspace.
Fast key and full-text search with live filters, watches, and precise metadata.
Use quotes for exact phrase matches (for example "fuel selector valve").
Track fatal and non-fatal accident patterns across Part 91, Part 135, and Part 121 operations.
Major cases, deep-report coverage, and investigation media across decades of NTSB history.
Move quickly by aircraft, airport, operator, and time with indexes built for research, not wandering.
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.
Monks Corner, SC
The pilot stated that he was in contact with air traffic controllers and recalled that the radios began to flicker on and off and radio communication was lost. After checking the voltage he realized that he was having an electric failure. He set the transponder to the emergency code and prepared for a precautionary landing. The pilot stated that during the final approach to landing, he reduced the power to idle and attempted to extend the landing gear. The airplane began to descend rapidly and the pilot added power. The pilot stated, "although he added power the airplane continued to descend." He landed approximately 100 feet short of the runway, and collided with ground debris. After the airplane came to a stop the pilot and passengers exited the airplane uninjured. The pilot stated that there were no mechanical or flight control anomalies with the airplane prior to the accident. Examination by an FAA inspector revealed that the wings were separated from the wing roots, and the fuselage was buckled. The landing gear handle, and landing gear was in the up and stowed position. Further examination revealed the alternator tension bolt was loose.
The pilot's misjudgment of speed/distance/altitude which resulted in a undershoot of the runway.
The pilot stated that he had three passengers onboard and was in contact with air traffic controllers at Charleston Approach. He recalled that the radios began to flicker on and off and radio communication was lost. After checking the voltage he realized that he was having an electric failure.
