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 December 8, 2016, about 1743 local time, a Cessna 350, N1222G, had the brakes catch fire during taxi following an aborted takeoff at Seletar Airport, Singapore. The owner/pilot was operating the airplane under the provisions of the Singapore Civil Aviation Regulations. Preliminary information received from the government of Singapore indicated that the pilot had rejected the takeoff above 70 knots, and was taxiing back to the parking bay. During the taxi, the pilot felt as though he had lost brake authority. The airplane departed the taxiway center line, and started veering to the left. The pilot then applied the left brake as he was heading towards a parked Cessna 172. The airplane turned 180 degrees, and ended up taxiing towards another jet aircraft that was being towed into a parking bay opposite the Cessna 172. The pilot applied the left brake again, and came to a halt in the middle of Taxiway WB5. The main landing gears caught fire; the fire was subsequently extinguished. There was significant heat damage at the belly and the main landing gears of the airplane. The accident is under the jurisdiction of and is being investigated by the Transport Safety Investigation Bureau (TSIB) of Singapore. As the State of Manufacture of the airplane and engines, the NTSB has designated a U.S. accredited representative to assist the TSIB in its investigation. All inquiries concerning this accident should be directed to the TSIB of Singapore: Transport Safety Investigation Bureau (TSIB) #048-058 Passenger Terminal Building 2 Singapore Changi Airport Singapore 819634 This report is for information purposes only, and contains only information obtained for, or released by, the government of Singapore.
