Overall Trends
Total, fatal, and serious accidents in the selected range.
Search investigations, review source evidence, monitor watched reports, and trace long-term patterns from one calm, data-first workspace.
Fast key and full-text search with live filters, watches, and precise metadata.
Use quotes for exact phrase matches (for example "fuel selector valve").
Track fatal and non-fatal accident patterns across Part 91, Part 135, and Part 121 operations.
Major cases, deep-report coverage, and investigation media across decades of NTSB history.
Move quickly by aircraft, airport, operator, and time with indexes built for research, not wandering.
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.
Nenana, AK
The pilot reported that he taxied through loose snow and slush at the departure airport. The subsequent flight and landing took place in sub-freezing temperatures. On touchdown at the destination airport, the airplane veered to the right. The pilot applied left rudder to correct for the veer, but the airplane veered more sharply to the right, nosed down, and impacted a snow berm. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the left wing. Postaccident examination revealed that the right brake was locked by ice while the left brake moved freely. Subsequent disassembly of the right brake revealed no mechanical anomalies.
Ice accretion in the right main landing gear wheel brake during departure, which prevented the right main landing gear from rotating on landing and resulted in a runway excursion and subsequent impact with a snow bank.

The pilot applied left rudder in an attempt to correct for the veer, the airplane then veered sharply to the right, nosed down, and impacted a snow berm. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the left wing. Postaccident examination by the pilot, found the right brake still locked by ice and the left brake free. He then disassembled the right brake, and no mechanical anomalies were found.
