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.

CEN22LA243
The pilot reported that he was taking off from a 14-ft-wide gravel road. He started a “fast taxi” to clear a road sign on the left side of the road. During the fast taxi, the pilot thought that the airplane “got a gust of wind” and became airborne. The pilot added full throttle and the left wing struck the road sign. The airplane veered to the left onto grass and came to rest upright in the adjacent field. The left and right wings and the forward fuselage sustained substantial damage.
NTSB Probable Cause
The pilot’s loss of control during a takeoff from a narrow gravel road, resulting in a collision with a fixed obstacle.
