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.

The flight instructor of the multi-engine, retractable landing gear airplane reported that, while conducting a touch-and-go landing with the student pilot at the controls, during the landing roll, the student pilot intended to raise the flaps, but instead raised the landing gear lever from the down to the up position. The right main landing gear retracted, the right wing impacted the runway surface and the airplane veered right. The flight instructor observed that the landing gear lever was in the "up" position and immediately put the lever to the "down" position. The left main landing gear partially retracted, and the airplane exited the right side of the runway. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the rudder. The flight instructor reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
The student pilot's unintentional selection of raising the landing gear instead of the flaps during a touch-and-go landing, and the flight instructor's delayed remedial action, which resulted in the landing gear retracting during the landing roll.
