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.
Lafayette, TN
On July 2, 2026, at 1032 central daylight time, a Cirrus Design Corp SR22, N127DC, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident near Lafayette, Tennessee. The pilot and passenger sustained no injuries. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulation Part 91 personal flight. The pilot reported that following the completion of an annual inspection, he was returning a ferry pilot to Owensboro/Davis County Regional Airport (OWB), Owensboro, Kentucky. About 20 minutes into the flight, while at an altitude of 6,500 feet mean sea level, the engine completely lost power. The pilot initially attempted to divert to the nearest airport, which was about 12 miles away, but then determined they would be unable to reach the airport. The pilot then made a distress call to air traffic control and decided to activate the airplane’s whole airframe parachute system at an altitude of 1,975 feet. The parachute successfully deployed and the airplane came to rest in a tree within an urban neighborhood. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the empennage, fuselage, and wings. The airplane was recovered and retained for further examination.
