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.

NTSB Number
CEN25LA082
The pilot reported that while approaching to land he placed the airplane into a slip using right rudder and left aileron in order to lose excess altitude. When the airplane was about 100 ft. above the ground the engine stopped producing power. The pilot suspected that fuel flow to the engine was interrupted because the fuel migrated away from the fuel pickup during the slip resulting in a loss of engine power. He reported that there were no mechanical malfunctions or failures of the airplane.
NTSB Probable Cause
Fuel starvation due to fuel migration during the pilot induced slipping maneuver.
