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.

CEN09CA569
The private pilot was on a takeoff roll from a 4,208-foot-long paved runway. At rotation speed the yoke was unresponsive and the pilot was unable to pull the yoke back for liftoff. The pilot said that he immediately looked down and confirmed that the gust lock was not installed and aborted the takeoff. The airplane exited the runway at the departure end and the pilot performed an intentional ground loop to avoid crashing through the airport boundary fence. There was substantial damage to the airplane, but no injuries to the private pilot, who was the only occupant. The two Federal Aviation Administration inspectors who responded to the accident scene confirmed continuity of the flight controls and did not find any precrash anomalies that would have prevented normal operations.
