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.

The pilot reported that, during the takeoff roll, the trim was set to a "significant nose up attitude," and the airplane prematurely became airborne. The airplane climbed about 10 ft above ground level, stalled, and then descended and impacted the runway. The engine caught fire, and the occupants egressed. The airplane sustained substantial damage to both wings and the fuselage. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.

NTSB Probable Cause

The pilot's improper trim configuration during the takeoff roll, which resulted in the airplane becoming prematurely airborne, and his exceedance of the airplane’s critical angle of attack, which resulted in an aerodynamic stall.

Full Narrative

The pilot reported that during the takeoff roll, the airplane's trim was set to a "significant nose up attitude" and the airplane prematurely departed the runway surface. The airplane climbed about 10ft above ground level and "the aircraft stalled." The airplane descended and impacted the runway. The airplane's engine caught fire and the occupants were able to egress. The airplane sustained substantial damage to both wings and the fuselage. The pilot reported that there were no mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
