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.
Tullahoma, TN
On June 8, 2025, about 1220 central daylight time, a DeHavilland DHC-6 Twin Otter, N166DH, was involved in an accident near Tullahoma, Tennessee. The commercial pilot and five passengers were seriously injured, and 15 passengers were not injured. The flight was being conducted as a 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 skydiving flight. The pilot was attempting to take off from runway 24 at the Tullahoma Regional Airport (THA), Tullahoma, TN. The accident flight was his fourth flight in the airplane that day. The pilot stated the takeoff was normal and he raised the flaps once the airplane was clear of obstacles. When the airplane was about 500 ft above the ground, the pilot noticed asymmetrical thrust on the engines while syncing the propellers. He said, “In the following seconds, I continued trying to sync the props and was getting unusual feedback in the controls. I didn’t notice any loss of power in the gauges, but something felt a miss.” The pilot lowered the nose of the airplane and saw the altitude level off, and airspeed decrease. The pilot determined that the left engine had lost power. He initiated “engine out procedures” and turned left, back to the airport to try and land on runway 36. The pilot could not remember if he secured the left engine; however, he did remember adding flaps as per the engine-out procedures. The pilot said he tried to maintain airspeed above the single-engine minimum control speed (Vmc), but the airplane continued to descend. The pilot was unable to make it back to the airport and chose to land in a field. There were two trees in the field that he was unable to avoid, and the airplane impacted the trees. The airplane came to rest upright, but the left wing, left engine and the tail section separated from the airframe, resulting in substantial damage. The right wing and engine remained secured to the airframe. There was no postimpact fire. The airplane wreckage was recovered and taken to a secure facility for further examination.
