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 November 15, 2024, about 0903 Pacific standard time, a De Havilland DHC-6-300, N241SA, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident near Boulder City, Nevada. Both pilots and 14 passengers were uninjured. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations part 135 revenue sightseeing flight. The flight was returning from a tour of the Grand Canyon. The crew checked weather during the initial stages of the approach and noted winds out of the southwest gusting to about 27 knots. As they got closer to the airport, they rechecked wind and decided to land on runway 27 because it was the longest and widest. The captain was at the controls for landing and was applying control inputs to counter the crosswind which he stated was gusting aggressively. He stated that shortly after touchdown the airplane started veering to the left and departed the runway despite application of corrective control inputs. The airplane struck a runway distance remaining sign, where it sustained substantial damage to the forward fuselage.
