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.

NTSB Number
GAA18CA383
The pilot reported that, during an agricultural application flight, he misjudged the approach and did not have enough clearance to avoid power lines. The airplane began to sink, and he pulled back on the flight control stick. Subsequently, the airplane aerodynamically stalled and then struck power lines. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the fuselage, empennage, and both wings. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
NTSB Probable Cause
The pilot’s misjudgment of the approach and his subsequent exceedance of the airplane’s critical angle of attack during an agricultural application flight, which resulted in an aerodynamic stall and collision with power lines.
Full Narrative
The pilot reported that, during an aerial application flight, he misjudged the approach and did not give enough clearance for power wires. The airplane began to sink and he pulled back on the flight control stick. Subsequently, the airplane aerodynamically stalled into the power wires. The pilot further reported that he did not remember anything else until he awoke in the hospital. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the fuselage, empennage, and both wings. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
