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 February 6, 2026, about 0925 eastern daylight time, a Cessna 560XL, N476JL, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident near Danville, Kentucky. The two flight crew and two passengers were not injured. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight. According to the pilot, the planned flight was from Stuart Powell Field Airport (DVK), Danville, Kentucky, to Bowling Green-Warren County Regional Airport (BWG), Bowling Green, Kentucky. After picking up a passenger at BWG they intended to continue to Fort Wayne International Airport (FWA), Fort Wayne, Indiana. The pilot and copilot performed the preflight walk-around inspection using the checklist. The preflight paperwork was completed and the weather was checked for both airports. They added 5,000 lbs. of fuel, resulting in a projected takeoff weight of 18,000 lbs. During taxi to the 5,000-ft-long runway, the before takeoff checklist was completed, which included verifying and checking flight control position and movement. No anomalies were noted with the airplane, and the takeoff roll was initiated. At 103 kts, the pilot pulled back on the yoke; however, the airplane did not rotate and all three landing gear remained on the runway. He verified the airspeed was above 103 kts; however, the airplane would not rotate, so he decided to abort the takeoff. The pilot applied maximum braking and deployed the thrust reversers. The airplane began to slow down but he knew insufficient runway remained to stop. The airplane contacted a snow berm at the end of the runway and all three landing gear collapsed. The airplane then traveled about 450 ft before coming to rest in a field. The main landing gear were forced up through the wings, which resulted in substantial damage. The airplane was retained for further examination.
