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.

The pilot explained that during the 20-minute flight, the weight-shift airplane was “in good working order with no known problems.” He completed his final approach, and at 2-3 feet above the runway surface, the left wing “stalled.” The airplane rotated to its left, the left main landing gear touched the surface, which rotated the airplane further left, and just after the nose landing gear touched down, the airplane departed the runway to its left about “55 degrees” off the runway heading. The pilot “applied full power” to clear the drainage swale to the airplane’s front but was unsuccessful. The airplane passed through the swale and rolled onto its left side which resulted in a serious injury to the pilot’s ankle and substantial damage to the wing structure. The pilot repeated that there were no pre-accident mechanical anomalies with his airplane that precluded normal operation.
The pilot’s exceedance of the airplane’s critical angle of attack during the landing flare, which resulted in a loss of directional control, a runway excursion, and substantial damage to the airplane.
