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.

A company representative reported that the airplane impacted an unknown object during an aerial application flight. After landing, substantial damage to the left wing was discovered. Following a brief search, a damaged electrical box was found dislodged from its base with yellow paint on one side that was consistent with the color of the airplane's left wing. The operator reported that there were no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation. The pilot did not supply a statement regarding the collision or the circumstances.
