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.
Schiphol, OF, NL
On November 10, 2023 at 0713 UTC, a Lufthansa Airbus A319, registration D-AIBG, experienced the loss of both electrical generators during approach to Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, Netherlands. The airplane’s ram air turbine deployed automatically. The airplane landed without further incident or injuries reported by any of the occupants. The flight, Lufthansa 986,was an IFR flight from Frankfort Airport, Germany to Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. According to the preliminary flight data recorder information, the aircraft was in descent at an altitude of approximately 31,500 feet when Generator 2 and then Generator 1 failed. After Generator 1 failed, the airplane entered an emergency electrical configuration and the ram air turbine (RAT) deployed. Information from the flight data recorder was interrupted for approximately 4 minutes; when the airplane exited from the emergency electrical configuration, the flight recorder was recovered. The airplane’s two Integrated Drive Generators (IDG) and two Generator Control Units (GCU) were removed for further examination. The Dutch Safety Board delegated the investigation to the National Transportation Safety Board as the State of Design and Manufacture of the IDGs and GCUs.
