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.

CEN24LA364
The pilot reported he had just completed an agricultural application pass and had entered a turn to setup for the next pass, when he heard a “pop” from the engine and felt the airplane slow down. His efforts to restore engine power were not successful. He dumped the application load and executed a forced landing to a road. After touching down, he maneuvered the airplane to avoid a tractor parked along the side of the road. Unfortunately, the left wing struck the sugar cane crop adjacent to the road causing damage to the lower wings, wing struts, and landing gear. A postaccident examination of the airframe and engine did not identify any preimpact anomalies consistent with an inability of the engine to produce rated power.
NTSB Probable Cause
Total loss of engine power during the agricultural application flight for reasons that could not be determined.
