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 was giving instruction to a private pilot. After an uneventful flight, the airplane was near its intended destination airport to make a full stop landing. The engine lost power and a forced landing was made about 0.27 miles from the airport. During the landing, the airplane sustained substantial damage to the fuselage, empennage, and both wings. The airplane had usable fuel in the right fuel tank. The flight instructor and the pilot receiving instruction had selected the left fuel tank, which ran dry. The engine lost power due to fuel starvation. The operator stated that there were no mechanical malfunctions or failures that precluded normal operation.
NTSB Probable Cause
The flight crew’s fuel mismanagement resulting in the loss of engine power due to fuel starvation.
