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 March 27, 2020, the Danish Aviation Accident Investigation Board (AAIB) informed the NTSB of an Airbus A300-622RF cargo airplane, powered by two Pratt & Whitney PW4158 turbofan engines, that experienced a right (No. 2) engine failure during approach to land at Brussels International Airport (EBBR). The flight crew reported vibrations from the No. 2 engine along with an Engine Indicating and Crew Alerting System (ECAM) alert and reduced power to the No. 2 engine in accordance with the airplane's quick reference handbook (QRH) procedure. During the post-flight examination of the No. 2 engine, debris was found in the tailpipe, low pressure turbine blade damage was observed, and both the high pressure and low pressure rotors were unable to be turned. The NTSB assigned an US Accredited Representative to the Danish investigation in accordance with Annex13 as the state of manufacturer of the engines. All information on this incident will be released by the Danish authorities.
