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.

According to the flight instructor, the airplane struggled to maintain altitude during its initial climb following takeoff. A witness reported that the wing flaps were fully deployed during takeoff. Subsequently, the airplane clipped several trees and then its left landing gear struck a power line that resulted in a descent and impact with a building. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the wings, fuselage, and empennage. The flight instructor stated that there were no preimpact mechanical anomalies or malfunctions with the engine that would have precluded normal operation. Postaccident review of the accident site photographs revealed that the airplane’s flaps were extended rather than fully retracted as specified in the airplane’s Pilot Operating Handbook.
NTSB Probable Cause
The flight instructor’s improper flap position during takeoff, which resulted in degraded climb performance and a subsequent impact with a building.
