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.
Monee, IL
The pilot was conducting power-off aerodynamic stall recoveries about 3,000 ft mean sea level (msl) at the time of the accident. The first three stall recoveries were unremarkable. However, before the fourth stall, the airplane’s deceleration rate and pitch attitude were greater than the previous three stall entries. The airplane snapped to the left and rolled inverted. It continued to roll and settled into an upright left spin with a relatively flat nose-down pitch attitude between 10° and 20°. Multiple attempts to recover from the spin were not successful. The airplane made about 6 complete rotations before it impacted the terrain. The airplane sustained substantial damage to both wings, the fuselage, and the empennage. The pilot reported no malfunctions or failures associated with the airplane before the accident. He noted that initiating recovery at the first indication of the stall might have prevented the loss of control.
The pilot’s in-flight loss of control while practicing aerodynamic stall recoveries.
On June 24, 2022, about 1518 central daylight time, a Glasair II FT airplane, N350CP, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident near Monee, Illinois. The pilot was seriously injured. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight. The pilot was conducting power-off aerodynamic stall recoveries about 3,000 ft msl. The pilot reported that the first three stall recoveries were unremarkable.
