Overall Trends
Total, fatal, and serious accidents in the selected range.
Search investigations, review source evidence, monitor watched reports, and trace long-term patterns from one calm, data-first workspace.
Fast key and full-text search with live filters, watches, and precise metadata.
Use quotes for exact phrase matches (for example "fuel selector valve").
Track fatal and non-fatal accident patterns across Part 91, Part 135, and Part 121 operations.
Major cases, deep-report coverage, and investigation media across decades of NTSB history.
Move quickly by aircraft, airport, operator, and time with indexes built for research, not wandering.
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.
Windham, CT
The pilot was attempting to depart from a 2,799-ft-long runway. During the takeoff roll, he rejected the takeoff after the airplane had used about 2,100 ft of the runway and had not reached rotation speed. During the rejected takeoff, he reduced power and applied brakes but was unable to stop. The airplane exited the runway and traversed across the grass. He initiated a left turn in an attempt to avoid an airport perimeter fence, but the airplane impacted the fence and came to rest about 260 ft from the departure end of the runway. The airplane’s fuselage was substantially damaged during the accident sequence. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation and that he should not have attempted to depart from the shorter of the two available runways.
The pilot’s inadequate preflight planning, which resulted in a rejected takeoff and subsequent runway excursion.
