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.
Harrah, OK
The 3,500-hour commercial pilot lost directional control of the single-engine airplane while landing on a dry 2,375-foot-long, by 60-foot-wide turf runway. The pilot reported that as he touched down on runway 35, he felt the airplane "pull slightly to the left." He added that "I thought something was stopping the left wheel, felt like a flat." He then applied full right rudder and right brake with no response. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) inspector that traveled to the scene of the accident reported that evidence on the runway indicated that the airplane landed left of centerline and contacted vegetation. The airplane then departed the runway on the left side and the left wing tip collided with trees. The inspector indicated that he did not find any mechanical anomalies or discrepancies with the airplane or any of its systems. Weather reported 10 miles to the southwest of the airport included winds from 040 degrees at 06 knots, few clouds at 17,000 feet, scattered clouds at 25,000 feet, 10 miles visibility, temperature of 22 degrees Celsius, dew point of 07 degrees Celsius, and an altimeter setting of 30.24 inches of Mercury.
The pilot's failure to compensate for the existing wind conditons while landing. A factor was the crosswind.
