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 began descending when he thought all jumpers had departed the airplane, but 1 jumper remained. The remaining jumper realized the airplane was descending but was too late to stop his exit. After exiting the airplane he contacted the horizontal stabilizer and broke the femur of his left leg. The pilot experienced momentary flight control issues but regained control of the airplane and landed uneventfully. The jumper became destabilized momentarily then regained control and landed uneventfully. The jumper reported to the FAA that the accident was his fault.

NTSB Probable Cause

The failure of the jumper to follow procedures.

Full Narrative

The pilot stated that he thought that all jumpers had departed the airplane and he then began his descent to return, though he later learned 1 jumper remained in the airplane. The remaining jumper reported that when he began to exit the airplane, he noticed it was descending, but it was too late for him to stop. Shortly after departing the airplane he contacted the horizontal stabilizer and became destabilized. The pilot then experienced flight control issues with the airplane. The pilot regained control of the airplane and landed without further incident, and the skydiver regained control and also landed without further incident. The jumper suffered a broken femur of his left leg, and reported that to the FAA that the accident was "...his fault."
