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 pilot stated that during takeoff from an unimproved gravel airstrip, the left main tire contacted soft dirt and vegetation. The pilot reported that the airplane was unable to accelerate, and it subsequently stalled shortly after becoming airborne, which resulted in an impact with tundra-covered terrain. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the right wing and elevator. The pilot stated that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
NTSB Probable Cause
The airplanes contact with terrain during takeoff which resulted in an inability to gain airspeed, which resulted in an aerodynamic stall and subsequent impact with terrain.
