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 pilot said he was departing on runway 25L (8,208 feet) and had reached an altitude of approximately 300 feet above the ground. He said the engine "suddenly quit" and he set up a glide to the remainder of the runway. He said he checked that the throttle and mixture were full forward, but the engine power did not return. The pilot said his first runway contact was a hard bounce; subsequently the aircraft landed and immediately slid into the dirt-overrun area. Post accident examination of the airplane revealed that both the engine firewall and the cabin floor were bucked. Further examination of the engine revealed that the left side intake manifold from the carburetor to the cylinders had disconnected.

NTSB Probable Cause

The loss of engine power due to the intake manifold disconnection to the engine's cylinders on the left side.
