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 June 10, 2026, about 1223 central daylight time, a Cessna T206H airplane, N72RK, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident near Bryant, Arkansas. The pilot was not injured. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 91 aerial surveying flight. The pilot reported that while in cruise flight and approaching his destination airport, he switched the fuel selector from “Both” to “Right” because the right tank contained more fuel. Shortly after switching tanks, the engine began to lose power. The pilot switched back to “Both”, but the airplane continued to lose power, and he was unable to maintain altitude. The pilot executed a forced landing to a field. During the landing, the airplane struck trees at the end of the field resulting in substantial damage to the left wing.
