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 October 12, 2025, about 1334 central daylight time, a Beech C90, N291CC, was destroyed when it was involved in an accident near Fort Worth, Texas. The private pilot and pilot-rated passenger were fatally injured. The airplane was operated as a Title 14?Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight. According to Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Automatic Dependent Surveillance – Broadcast (ADS-B) information, the airplane took off from Perot Field/Fort Worth Alliance Airport (AFW), Fort Worth, Texas, at 1203, proceeded in a northwesterly direction and performed several approaches to the Bowie Municipal Airport (0F2), Bowie, Texas. The airplane then flew in a southerly direction, performed one 360° right turn about 13 nautical miles south-southwest of 0F2, then flew south again. The airplane continued in a southerly direction until about 1325, when it turned left to a southeasterly direction and remained on that heading until about 1333. About that time, when the flight was about 3.8 nautical miles northwest of Hicks Airfield (T67), Fort Worth, Texas, the airplane turned right and began flying in a south-southeasterly direction toward T67. A pilot who was based at T67 and flying at the time of the accident, reported a radio transmission on the T67 common traffic advisory frequency, which was consistent with the accident airplane, on a 5-mile final approach to T67. She did not hear any further transmissions from the accident airplane, which continued the south-southeasterly heading toward T67. At 1333:34, when the flight was about 1.3 nautical miles northwest from the approach end of runway 14 at T67, the airplane turned left and began flying in a northerly direction. A video camera located about .25 nautical mile south of the accident site recorded the airplane flying low, above powerlines while in a slight left bank with the landing gear extended. The airplane continued on the northerly direction and began descending. The left bank angle increased and exceeded 90° before the airplane went out of view behind trees/bushes. ADS-B data showed that the airplane flew over a commercial building immediately adjacent to the accident site where several videos depicted the airplane impacting the ground while inverted and in a left wing low attitude. The airplane then impacted numerous parked, unoccupied commercial vehicles with an immediate explosion and extensive postcrash fire which consumed nearly the entire airplane. The remains of the wreckage, which included both engines and propellers, were recovered and retained for further examination.
