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 September 30, 2010, at 0825 universal coordinated time (UTC), a Cessna 680, G-CJCC, operated by Bookajet, experienced a left main bus electrical system fault, approximately 20 minutes after taking off from Luton Airport (EGGW), en route to the Milas-Bodrum Airport (LTFE), Milas, Turkey. The flight crew completed the required checklists and returned to EGGW. Upon landing at EGGW, it was determined that the left main fuel tank was full with 5,500 pounds of fuel and the right fuel tank contained 3,300 pounds of fuel. AAIB issued Special Bulletin S1/2010 on October 8, 2010. The bulletin states in part, "This incident and subsequent ground testing showed that removal of power from the left main bus will cause the fuel cross-feed valve to open and the right boost pump to operate without any crew selection, and the motive-flow shutoff valves will remain open. This allows motive-flow fuel to be returned to both tanks, resulting in uncommanded fuel transfer from the right to the left tank. During the 20 minutes that elapsed between selecting the left generator OFF and landing at Luton, sufficient fuel was transfered from the right to the left tank, via the left engine motive-flow system, to create a fuel imbalance of 2,200 lbs. The crew were not aware that this was occurring, as only the right fuel quantity indication was available." This incident is under the jurisdiction and control of the Air Accident Investigation Branch (AAIB).
