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.
Naknek, AK
The pilot of the Piper PA-32-300 reported that while taxiing from the runway to park, during a turn to the right, the left wing impacted the left wing of the Piper PA-28-180. He added that his airplane was loaded with cargo which made the airplane's nose sit high and that he "missed" seeing the other airplane. The pilot of the Piper PA-28-180 reported that, while holding at the "north ramp area", the airplane was stationary. He added that, he had seen the PA-32-300 coming down the runway and believed he had given adequate space to avoid any conflict. The PA-32-300 sustained substantial damage to the left wing. The Piper PA-28-180 sustained substantial damage to the left wing and fuselage. Both pilots reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplanes that would have precluded normal operation.
