Overall Trends
Total, fatal, and serious accidents in the selected range.
Search investigations, review source evidence, monitor watched reports, and trace long-term patterns from one calm, data-first workspace.
Fast key and full-text search with live filters, watches, and precise metadata.
Use quotes for exact phrase matches (for example "fuel selector valve").
Track fatal and non-fatal accident patterns across Part 91, Part 135, and Part 121 operations.
Major cases, deep-report coverage, and investigation media across decades of NTSB history.
Move quickly by aircraft, airport, operator, and time with indexes built for research, not wandering.
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.
Carencro, LA
On October 21, 2025, at 1101 central daylight time, a Raytheon Aircraft Company G58 airplane, N16PV, was destroyed when it was involved in an accident near Carencro, Louisiana. The commercial pilot and two passengers sustained fatal injuries. The airplane was operated under Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations as a Part 91 business flight. The flight departed from David Wayne Hooks Memorial Airport, Houston, Texas, and was en route to Lafayette Regional Airport/Paul Fournet Field (LFT), Lafayette, Louisiana. About 9 nautical miles northwest of the LFT and 1,300 ft mean sea level, the flight transmitted to air traffic control (ATC) of an unspecified engine issue and requested direct to LFT. ATC provided instructions to proceed direct to runway 11 at LFT after which there were no further transmissions from the airplane. Surveillance video recorded the airplane in a right spin, with a sound consistent with an engine operating, when it impacted terrain. The airplane was destroyed by impact forces. Postaccident examination of the airplane revealed the left engine propeller blades exhibited torsional bending and twisting consistent with engine operation. The right engine propeller blades were relatively straight and not feathered. The left and right cockpit propeller controls were in similar and unfeathered positions. The landing gear and wing flaps were retracted. Examination of the flight control system and both engines revealed no mechanical anomalies that would have precluded normal operation.
