Aviation safety reports, made easier to study
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 commercial pilot of the tailwheel-equipped biplane was in the runup pad adjacent to the taxiway, had just completed his pre takeoff checks, and was attempted to taxi into position to hold for takeoff. The private pilot of a low-wing airplane was already stopped at the hold short line of the departure runway. As the biplane pilot taxied out of the runup pad he performed several s-turn maneuvers and looked out the side of the cockpit to increase his limited forward visibility, but did not see the low-wing airplane. The biplane impacted the low-wing airplane, striking the right wing and aileron with the operating propeller, which resulted in substantial damage to the low-wing airplane.
NTSB Probable Cause
The biplane pilot’s inadequate visual lookout, which resulted in an on-ground collision with another airplane while taxiing.
