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.
Glens Falls, NY
The pilot stated that the preflight inspection, engine start, engine run-up and takeoff were all normal, and there was no indication of any problems with the engine. After liftoff, when the airplane was about 500 ft above the ground, the engine stopped producing power, but the propeller continued to windmill. The pilot lowered the nose and began a gradual turn back toward the runway. The airplane landed on the grass and struck the airport’s perimeter fence, resulting in substantial damage to the fuselage and wings. Data downloaded from the onboard engine monitor indicated a fluctuation in fuel flow prior to the loss of power. Postaccident examination of the fuel-injected engine and the airplane’s fuel system revealed no evidence of any preimpact mechanical malfunctions or failures that would have precluded normal operation. Therefore, the reason for the total loss of engine power was not determined.

On November 19, 2021, at 1204 eastern standard time, a Piper PA-28R-200, N2305T, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident at the Floyd Bennett Memorial Airport (GFL), Glens Falls, New York. The pilot and the passenger sustained minor injuries. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight. According to the pilot, the preflight inspection, engine start, engine run-up and takeoff were all normal. After liftoff, the pilot retracted the landing gear, and during the initial climb, about 500 ft above the ground, the engine power “rolled back” but the propeller continued to windmill. The pilot stated he lowered the nose and began a gradual turn back toward the runway. The airplane landed on the grass and struck the airport’s perimeter fence, resulting in substantial damage to the fuselage and wings. Data downloaded from the onboard engine monitor revealed fuel flow fluctuated before it dropped to zero. An examination of the fuel-injected engine and the airplane’s fuel system supervised by a Federal Aviation Administration inspector revealed no evidence of any preimpact mechanical malfunctions or failures that would have precluded normal operation.
