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.

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.
Dinwiddie, VA
The pilot of the tailwheel bush airplane stated that he landed at a friend’s field (not an airstrip) and had never landed there before. The landing was uneventful, and the airplane touched down below 25 mph. After the airplane slowed further, the pilot attempted to taxi the airplane from the field to the driveway of the residence. The airplane subsequently traveled over soft ground and nosed over, coming to rest inverted. The pilot added that there were no preimpact mechanical malfunctions with the airplane. Examination of the airplane revealed substantial damage to the fuselage and vertical stabilizer.
