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.
Taylor, AZ
On August 24, 2025, about 0711 mountain daylight time, a Cessna 120, N3151N, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident near Taylor, Arizona. 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 dipped the fuel tanks before the flight and observed that the left tank was empty and the right tank contained about 10.5 gallons of fuel, a quantity that had previously provided about 1.5 hours of flight time with a 30 to 60 minute reserve. The right tank was selected for the entire flight. After 1 hour and 25 minutes, while on approach to land, the engine lost all power. The pilot performed a forced landing, during which the airplane sustained substantial damage to the aft fuselage. After the accident, the pilot dipped the right fuel tank and found that about 1 inch of fuel remained.
