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.

On October 13, 2024, about 2230 eastern daylight time, a Cessna 336, N336LV, was destroyed when it was involved in an accident near Savannah, Georgia. The commercial pilot was fatally injured, and a pilot-rated passenger sustained minor injuries. The flight was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight. Radar data indicated that the flight departed Miami Executive Airport (TMB), Miami, Florida enroute to Savannah International Airport (SAV), Savannah, Georgia. According to air traffic control (ATC) communication information provided by the Federal Aviation Administration, the pilot contacted ATC while flying at an altitude of 7,000 feet, and stated that he was inbound to SAV and had obtained the current weather conditions there. The pilot was cleared to descend to 2,000 feet for an approach to runway 28 at SAV. Shortly thereafter, the pilot requested a direct approach due to fuel concerns, which ATC approved. The pilot subsequently reported a loss of engine power, declared an emergency, and later advised ATC that both engines had lost power. ATC provided the pilot with radar vectors to Hunter Army Airfield (SVN), Savannah, Georgia, which was located about 3 miles from the airplane's position at that time. The pilot acknowledged these instructions, reported seeing the airport’s runway lights, but expressed concern about reaching the runway. The final transmission from the pilot indicated that he would not be able to reach the runway. The airplane subsequently impacted terrain in a residential area about 2 nautical miles northeast of SVN. All major components of the airplane were located at the accident site. The cockpit and instrument panel were destroyed by impact forces. The fuselage exhibited extensive impact and crush damage. The left wing had separated outboard of the inboard fuel tank, which was intact but empty. The outboard section of the left wing, found along the wreckage path, revealed a breached fuel tank with trace amounts of fuel observed. The right wing separated outboard of the inboard fuel tank, which remained intact and contained trace amounts of fuel. The outboard section of the right wing was partially attached via control cables, and a trace amount of fuel was observed within the tank. Both engines remained attached to the fuselage and exhibited impact damage. The vertical stabilizer, rudder, and horizontal stabilizer were partially attached and showed signs of impact damage. The wreckage was recovered and retained for further examination.
