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.

CEN23LA294
After completion of a local flight, the pilot landed and exited the runway. Shortly after exiting the runway the airplane’s engine stopped running. The pilot attempted to restart the engine, which was unsuccessful, and he noticed smoke. The pilot and passenger exited the airplane and a fire ensued that damaged the forward fuselage and firewall. Postaccident examination of the airplane indicated that the fire was concentrated in an area near the left carburetor. Examination of the carburetor did not reveal any anomalies; however, the extent of the fire damage precluded determination of the source of the fire.
