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 July 22, 2025, about 1706 Pacific daylight time, a Beechcraft Bonanza V35, N3785Q, sustained substantial damage when it was involved in an accident near Astoria, Oregon. The pilot and passenger were not injured. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight. The pilot reported that he and a flight instructor was enroute to Astoria Regional Airport, Astoria, Oregon to refuel during a cross-country flight to Arlington, Washington. The flight instructor reported that while the pilot maneuvered the airplane for an approach to runway 26, about 400 ft above ground level and about 3 miles southeast of the airport, the engine sputtered. The pilot stated that he immediately advanced the mixture control, but the engine sputtered again and then lost all power. The flight instructor’s subsequent attempt to restart the engine was unsuccessful and he then assumed control of the airplane to execute a forced landing. The airplane touchdown on a gravel road short of runway 26, overran an embankment and came to rest in a field. Postaccident examination of the airplane revealed that the lower fuselage sustained substantial damage. The airplane was recovered to a secure facility for further examination.
