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.
Hammonton, NJ
According to the pilot, his original intent was to start, run-up, and then taxi his airplane on the day of the accident. At the completion of the run-up, the pilot taxied the airplane onto the active runway for a "fast taxi" and applied full engine power. The airplane achieved takeoff speed, the pilot pulled back on the control yoke, and the airplane lifted from the runway. The pilot then aborted the takeoff and lost directional control as the airplane touched down on the runway. The airplane impacted a fence, resulting in substantial damage to the wings. The pilot reported that there were no mechanical deficiencies with the airplane.
