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 air ambulance pilot reported that he was enroute to his destination when two large birds impacted the helicopter, which resulted in substantial damage to the pitch change link assembly and drive link assembly. The helicopter began to “hop vertically” and controllability was in question, so the pilot made a precautionary landing without incident.
