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.
Fort Collins, CO
The pilot was in the traffic pattern for runway 33; planning a full-stop landing. During the landing flare, the airplane touched down and then lifted off of the runway. The pilot maintained that the airplane did not bounce, but rather touched down "very lightly." The pilot added power in order to recover; however, he did not receive the response he was anticipating. Subsequently, the pilot added full power and prepared to go around. Again, the engine did not respond as the pilot had anticipated. The nose of the airplane pitched up and the airplane drifted to the left. The airplane bounced several times before coming to a stop. The wings, fuselage, and firewall were substantially damaged. An examination of the engine and related systems revealed no anomalies.
