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.

DEN07CA109
While in normal cruise flight, the engine lost power. The pilot made a forced landing next to a dirt road in a canyon. During the landing, the landing gear folded back and buckled the fuselage. Additional tubular structure members were bent. Post-accident examination revealed that fuel flow was restricted due to a partially obstructed fuel filter.
NTSB Probable Cause
A partial blockage of the fuel filter, causing fuel starvation. A contributing factor was the rough terrain.
Full Narrative
The pilot was en route from Billings, Montana, to Twin Falls, Idaho. After diverting to Columbus, Montana, and detouring to Cody, Wyoming, the pilot turned towards Dubois, Wyoming. Shortly thereafter the engine lost power. The pilot could see he had 4 gallons of fuel in the right tank and 3 gallons is the left tank. He was able to restart the engine, but it lost power again. The pilot made a forced landing next to a dirt road in a canyon. During the landing, the landing gear folded back and buckled the fuselage. Additional tubular structure members were bent. The airplane was recovered and taken back to Twin Falls. The pilot's mechanic inspected the airplane and said that fuel flow was restricted due to a partially obstructed fuel filter.
