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.
Tomball, TX
The pilot reported that, while attempting to land on runway 17R, the airplane encountered a crosswind and began “crabbing to the right.” He applied full power to go around, and the airplane lifted off, but it was then “pushed,” and right main landing gear (MLG) impacted a sign. The left wing then hit the runway, followed by the left MLG and nosewheel. The airplane sustained substantial damage to both wing spars and the left aileron. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation. The recorded wind at the time of the accident was from 080° at 9 knots. The pilot estimated that the wind gusted to 22 knots; there were no wind gusts recorded around the time of the accident.
