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 non-certificated pilot had completed a touch-and-go maneuver in the amateur-built airplane when the engine began to lose power. The pilot attempted to complete a traffic pattern to the runway, but shortly thereafter the engine experienced a total loss of power. The pilot elected to perform an off-airport landing to a plowed field. The airplane’s wing struts were bent during the forced landing. A postaccident examination of the airplane revealed no anomalies. The reason for the loss of engine power was not determined.

Full Narrative
The non-certificated pilot had completed a touch-and-go maneuver in the single-engine, amateur-built airplane, when the converted automobile engine began to lose power. The pilot attempted to make it around the landing pattern; however, a short time later the engine lost complete power, resulting in the pilot performing an off airport landing to a plowed field. The airplane came to rest in an upright position and the pilot was able to exit unassisted. The airplane’s wing struts were bent during the forced landing. An examination of the airplane revealed no anomalies. The reason for the loss of engine power was not determined.
