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.

WPR13CA139
While waiting in the run-up area to taxi onto the runway, the pilot of the Cessna heard a loud noise and felt his airplane move. He shut down the engine and, after getting out of the airplane, he observed that the left wing of a Piper had collided with the left side of the Cessna’s rudder and vertical stabilizer, tipping the vertical stabilizer to the right and twisting and buckling the fuselage. The pilot of the Piper reported that, while he was taxiing to get fuel with no intent for flight, he saw the tail of the Cessna directly in front of him. He applied right brake action and swiveled his airplane to avoid directly hitting the Cessna with the propeller. The pilot added that he had no idea why he was unable to see the Cessna in time to avoid the collision.
NTSB Probable Cause
The failure of the pilot of another airplane, who was taxiing with no intent for flight, to maintain proper visual lookout.
Full Narrative
While standing in the run-up area waiting to taxi onto the runway, the pilot of the Cessna heard a loud noise and felt movement of his airplane. He shut the engine down and got out to see that the left wing of a tail-wheel equipped Piper had collided with the left side of the Cessna’s rudder and vertical stabilizer. The pilot of the Piper reported that he was taxiing to get fuel, with no intent for flight, and as he turned off the taxiway to the run up pad in order to run the engine prior to getting fuel, he saw the tail of the Cessna directly in front of him. He applied right brake action and swiveled his aircraft to avoid a direct collision with his propeller. The pilot added that he had no idea of why he wasn’t able to see the Cessna in time to avoid the collision.
