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 June 12, 2010, at about 0045 Universal Coordinated Time (UTC), a Thomas Cook Airlines Boeing 757-28A, registration number G-TCBA, while cruising at FL360, experienced a fuel leak from the left engine, a Rolls-Royce RB211-535E4-37 turbofan engine. The flight crew diagnosed the fuel leak and cross-fed fuel to correct the imbalance; however, the fuel leak persisted. The captain declared a PAN call and the airplane was cleared to make an approach to Runway 26L at London Gatwick Airport, United Kingdom. The airplane made an uneventful landing and no injuries were reported. The flight was a scheduled flight from Milas-Bodrum Airport, Turkey, to London Gatwick Airport. Subsequent investigation by the operator's maintenance engineers traced the source of the fuel leak to a pipe coupling at the high pressure fuel pump outlet on the left engine. The investigation is under the jurisdiction of the government of United Kingdom.
