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 May 30, 2026, about 0744 Atlantic standard time, a Cessna T210, N210PL, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident near Loiza, Puerto Rico. 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 the accident flight was the first flight post maintenance. During takeoff and the initial climb, the engine was running normally with no discrepancies observed. After 5 minutes of flying, at about 3,000 ft mean sea level (msl), the pilot noticed an engine vibration. He then noted that after about 1 minute, the engine began to produce “explosion” noises, the oil pressure was very low, and the oil temperature was high. The pilot maneuvered to return to the departure airport and declared an emergency; however, the airplane would not have been able to reach the airport, and he performed a forced landing on a road. As the airplane touched down, it contacted a pole and quickly decelerated. Postaccident examination revealed that the airplane sustained substantial damage to the right wing, fuselage, and empennage. An FAA inspector found several gallons of fuel in both fuel tanks. The wreckage was retained for further examination.
