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.

According to the pilot, while landing on a wet sod strip, in gusty wind conditions, he was aware of thunderstorms approximately 4 miles to the west and north of the airport. He stated that it was drizzling during the landing roll, and the airplane encountered severe wind from the west. The pilot reported that the wind blew the airplane off of the runway to the right; "sideways" and the right wing impacted a fence-post. The pilot stated that the airplane's landing gear and propeller became entangled in the fence wire as the airplane rolled to a stop. The airplane sustained substantial damage to both wings and the fuselage. The weather from the nearest reporting station identified thunderstorms in the vicinity of the accident location, at the time of the accident. The pilot reported that there were no mechanical failures or anomalies prior to or during the flight that would have prevented normal operation.
The pilot's failure to maintain directional control during the landing roll in windy conditions, resulting in a runway excursion and collision with a fence.
