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.

ERA26LA014
The flight instructor reported that while returning from a local training flight, the engine experienced a partial loss of power. An emergency was declared, and the engine subsequently experienced a total loss of power. The flight instructor conducted an emergency off-airport forced landing, during which the airplane impacted a park bench structure before coming to rest on a wide sidewalk. The airplane sustained substantial damage to left wing, and left horizontal stabilizer. A postaccident examination of the engine by an FAA inspector found a significant leak at the fuel flow transducer inlet line/fitting. The fuel flow transducer and associated fuel line were sent to the manufacturer for testing, which revealed no anomalies that would have precluded normal operation.
NTSB Probable Cause
A total loss of engine power due to a fuel delivery system leak, which allowed air to enter the fuel system. The source of the leak could not be determined based on the available evidence.
