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 January 12, 2011, an Air Burkina Boeing MD-83 experienced near fuel exhaustion while attempting to land at Orly International Airport, Paris, France. During the ferry flight with landing gear down the flight crew determined that it did not have enough fuel to proceed to its destination and decided to return to Orly. Air traffic controllers directed the flight to go around due to poor geographic positioning of the airplane for landing. The flight landed uneventfully on the second approach with weather conditions below minimums. The Bureau d’Enquêtes et d’Analyses pour la Sécurité de l’Aviation Civile (BEA) of France is investigating the event. The NTSB has appointed a U.S. Accredited Representative as the state of design and manufacture of the airplane. All inquiries concerning this investigation should be directed to the BEA at: Bureau d’Enquêtes et d’Analyses pour la Sécurité de l’Aviation civile Bâtiment 153 Aéroport du Bourget 93350 Le Bourget France Website: http://www.bea-fr.org
