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 April 17, 2025, about 1540 eastern daylight time, a Beech A24 airplane, N8060R, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident at the Greenville Downtown Airport (GMU), Greenville, South Carolina. The pilot sustained minor injuries. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight. The pilot reported that there were no engine anomalies noted during the preflight inspection, engine run-up checks, and subsequent takeoff roll for the local flight. During the airplane’s initial climb, at an altitude of about 50 ft above ground level, the airplane experienced a total loss of engine power. With no remaining runway, the pilot elected to perform a forced landing to a field off the departure end of the runway. During the landing, the pilot banked the airplane to the right to avoid the runway approach lights, which resulted in an aerodynamic stall and subsequent impact with terrain. The airplane came to rest in an upright position about 730 ft northeast of the runway. The airplane’s fuselage and wings sustained substantial damage. The airplane was recovered and retained for further examination.
