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.

After performing maintenance to the unregistered powered parachute, the non-rated pilot decided to fly the aircraft in the traffic pattern at a private airstrip. After completing a flight for approximately 20 minutes, the pilot attempted another flight with a passenger. During landing, the pilot stated the aircraft's rear landing gear touched down and the aircraft encountered a gust of wind. Subsequently, the aircraft became airborne again and encountered power lines and a power pole approximately 30 feet above ground level adjacent to the runway. The aircraft impacted terrain and came to rest upright. A postaccident examination of the powered parachute revealed substantial damage to the fuselage. The pilot reported that there were no mechanical problems with the aircraft prior to the accident.
