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.

The pilot of the helicopter was practicing some maneuvers in the vicinity of his local airport. Upon completion of these maneuvers, while taxiing towards his hangar, the pilot reported that the helicopter began to yaw to the right. The pilot described that he was about a 1 ft above and that once one of the helicopter’s skids contacted the ground, he was unable to regain control and the helicopter rolled over. The helicopter’s fuselage, main rotor blades, and tailboom were substantially damaged. The pilot reported that there were no pre-accident mechanical malfunctions or failures with the helicopter that would have precluded normal operation, nor were any discovered during a postaccident examination of the helicopter by a Federal Aviation Administration inspector.
