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.

The pilot of the low-wing airplane and the student pilot of the high-wing airplane both reported stopping for a short break while on solo, instructional, cross-country flights. After engine start, the pilot of the low-wing airplane reported checking for traffic in all directions before entering the taxiway and beginning his taxi toward the departing runway. The student pilot of the high-wing airplane reported checking for traffic to the right and announcing his taxi intentions over the common traffic advisory frequency, but did not look to his left before entering the taxiway. The pilot of the low-wing airplane could not recall if he heard the advisory statement nor if he made one of his own. The student pilot of the high-wing airplane did not see the low-wing airplane already established on the taxiway and coming from the left. As the student pilot of the high-wing airplane entered the taxiway the two airplanes collided. The low-wing airplane’s right wing impacted the high-wing airplane resulting in substantial damage to the low-wing and minor damage to the high-wing airplane. The pilot of each airplane reported that there were no preimpact mechanical malfunctions or failures with either airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
The student pilot’s (of the high wing airplane) inadequate visual lookout, which resulted in a ground collision with another airplane while taxiing.
