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.
Lewisville, TX
After an uneventful cross-country flight, the pilot checked the weather and then set up for a straight in approach for his destination airport. On final, the airplane floated in ground effect over the runway and the airplane touched down flat with minimal flare. During rollout, within a moment of having 3 wheels on the ground, a large gust of wind picked up the airplane’s right wing and turned the airplane toward some trees on the side of the runway. The pilot was not able to correct the turn, so he added power and executed a go-around. The pilot attempted to clear trees beyond the departure end of the runway, and the airplane stalled. The airplane descended and impacted into a lake adjacent to the end of the runway. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the composite firewall. A crosswind component of 15 knots and wind gusts of 23 knots were reported about the time of the accident. After the accident, the pilot stated that he should have diverted to another airport due to the combination of wind, gusts, and obstacles adjacent to the runway.
The pilot’s failure to maintain sufficient airspeed during a go-around, which resulted in an aerodynamic stall and impact with water. Contributing to the accident were crosswind gusts.
