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.
Hillsboro, OR
The pilot reported that, he was on a long cross-country flight and had stopped at several airports along the way. He reported that during a takeoff run, he accelerated to rotation speed and heard the stall warning horn oral alert when he attempted to lift the nosewheel off the ground. The pilot elected to abort the takeoff as the airplane did not appear to be accelerating sufficiently. At the time, the airplane was about halfway down the runway. According to the pilot, as there was between 800-1,200 ft of runway remaining at the time, he retarded the throttle and applied some brake pressure, but the airplane did not decelerate as he had anticipated. The pilot recounted that he took his feet off the rudder pedals multiple times to ensure they were correctly placed. He then applied maximum pressure to the brake pedals, but the airplane overran the runway end, traversed a road, and impacted trees. The wings were substantially damaged. The pilot stated that the brake system did not perform as he had anticipated. However, postaccident examination of the brake system did not reveal any anomalies. Further, the pilot reported that he did not experience any abnormalities with the brakes when he used them to stop at other airports during other legs of the cross-country flight.
The pilot’s delayed remediation following an aborted takeoff run, which resulted in a runway overrun and collision with trees.
