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.

On February 17, 2010, at 1555 UTC, a Thompson Airways Boeing 757 experienced pilot and first officer airspeed indicator anomalies during climbout from Gran Canaria Airport (LPA), Las Palmas, Canary Islands, Spain. The event occurred during a period of turbulence and lightning activity, although the airplane was not struck by lightning. All airspeed indications returned to normal when the airplane exited the area of turbulence and lightning. The flight continued to its destination, London Gatwick Airport (LGW) and landed uneventfully. The United Kingdom Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) is investigating this event, along with several similar events related to static buildup on airframes during certain atmospheric conditions. The NTSB has designated a U.S. Accredited Representative as the state of manufacture of the airplane. All inquiries should be directed to: Air Accidents Investigation Branch Department of Transport Farnborough House Berkshire Copse Road Aldershot Hants GU11 2HH United Kingdom Website: http://www.aaib.gov.uk
