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.

NTSB Number
CEN24LA117
The pilot reported that while he was approaching a taxiway intersection, a large, twin engine, turboprop airplane was undergoing a maintenance engine run on the adjacent run-up area. The propeller blast from the turboprop airplane lifted the left wing and tail of the airplane, and the airplane nosed over, coming to rest inverted. The airplane’s fuselage, empennage, both wings, vertical stabilizer, and rudder were substantially damaged. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation. According to the pilot, the tower controller did not issue any cautionary advisories for the turboprop airplane activity to the pilot with the takeoff clearance.
NTSB Probable Cause
The pilot’s failure to maintain sufficient clearance from a large multi-engine airplane during taxi operations.
