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.

NTSB Number
CEN22LA162
The flight instructor reported that they were conducting a simulated single-engine approach in the multi-engine airplane when the airplane began to yaw to the left. In an effort to regain directional control, he took control of the airplane from the student, and increased power on the left engine while simultaneously decreasing power on the right engine. Although both engines were still operating, he did not apply full power to both engines. The airplane impacted the ground, resulting in substantial damage to the fuselage. The pilot did not report any mechanical malfunctions or anomalies that would have precluded normal operation.
NTSB Probable Cause
The flight instructor’s failure to adequately correct for a loss of directional control during a simulated single engine approach.
