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.

During a night takeoff from the turf runway, the airplane collided with a deer. The pilot experienced controllability problems while trying to land and elected to perform a no-flap landing. The airplane landed without further incident. Postaccident examination of the airplane revealed damage to the left flap and substantial damage to the left elevator. A review of the airport directory found a remark to alert pilots to deer on and in the vicinity of the airport. A search of the FAA’s Wildlife Strike Database did not find any previously reported wildlife strikes at the accident airport.
