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 September 17, 2025, about 1742 Pacific daylight time, a Cessna 750, N769XJ, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident at San Diego International Airport (SAN), San Diego, California. The two pilots and four passengers sustained no injuries. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 135 commuter flight. The pilot reported that during the takeoff roll, he felt an intense vibration coming from the nosewheel as the airplane accelerated through 100 knots, so he elected to abort the takeoff. Subsequently, during the abort, the nose landing gear collapsed, and the nose of the airplane settled onto the runway. When the airplane came to a stop on the runway, the pilots executed an emergency shutdown and safely evacuated all occupants from the airplane. Post accident examination revealed that the airplane’s fuselage sustained substantial damage. The airplane was recovered and retained for further examination.
