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 September 18, 2013, a LOT Polish Airlines, Boeing 787-8, registration number SP-LRB, powered by two Rolls-Royce Trent 100-67B turbofan engines experienced a maintenance status message “ENG FUEL FULTER R” during cruise from Beijing Capital International Airport (ZBAA) to Warsaw Chopin Airport (EPWA). After arrival, maintenance found that the engine fuel filter in the No. 2 engine (right) had not been installed. Examination of the left engine for that same airplane also revealed that there was no fuel filter installed. On September 19, 2013, a LOT Polish Airlines, Boeing 787-8, registration number SP-LRC was also inspected and no fuel filters were installed. The Polish State Commission of the Aircraft Accident Investigation is investigating these maintenance errors and has delegated part of the investigation to the NTSB as the United States is the State of Manufacture for the airplane and country of occurrence for the last engine maintenance facility.
