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.

CEN24LA194
The pilot and passenger planned to complete a local flight from a private grass strip. Before departure, the pilot told the passenger that they would need to fly under power lines, then they could climb to a higher altitude. After flying under the power lines, the airplane continued about 0.5 nm at a low altitude and the right wing struck a tree. The airplane impacted the ground and sustained substantial damage to the left wing and fuselage. Postaccident examination of the airplane did not reveal any mechanical malfunctions or failures that would have precluded normal operation. Based on passenger weight and fueling information provided by the airstrip owner and friend of the pilot, the airplane was likely over its maximum gross weight, which resulted in a degraded climb performance.
NTSB Probable Cause
The pilot’s decision to depart with the airplane over maximum gross weight, which reduced the climb performance and resulted in a collision with a tree.
