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.
Flippin, AR
The pilot reported that during the takeoff roll, the airplane veered toward the left edge of the runway. The pilot attempted to abort the takeoff and reduced engine power to idle; however, the pilot continued to hold the aircraft in a nose-high attitude and the airplane became airborne. The airplane flew over the taxiway and impacted terrain adjacent to the taxiway. The impact collapsed the main and nose gear and caused the right wingtip to strike the ground. Post accident examination of the wreckage by a Federal Aviation Administration inspector revealed substantial damage to the fuselage. The inspector noted tire marks on the runway that veer to the left and are in-line with the aircraft’s direction, with a darker mark on the left. The inspector examined the airplane’s brakes and found that both functioned normally. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
