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 flight instructor reported that the purpose of the flight was to practice maneuvers, including several takeoffs and landings at night. The student pilot had executed a full stop landing and taxied back to the active runway for another takeoff. During the takeoff roll, the flight instructor saw three deer run onto the runway as the airplane approached rotation speed. He quickly took control, announcing "my flight controls," and aborted the takeoff by pulling the throttle to idle and applying maximum braking. Despite these efforts, the airplane collided with one of the deer, resulting in substantial damage to the airplane's horizontal stabilizer.
