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.
Hudson, CO
The pilot was landing to the east on the turf runway for the third time; the previous two landings were uneventful. During the landing roll, the airplane rolled over the bumpy turf surface, the empennage came up, and the airplane’s nose moved down. The pilot attempted to correct the nose down condition with an elevator input. When the airplane traveled over the paved taxiway that intersected the runway, the pilot opined that it exacerbated the situation. The airplane subsequently nosed over and came to rest inverted. The fuselage, vertical stabilizer, and rudder sustained substantial damage. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation. The pilot stated that taxiway that crossed the runway was raised relative to the runway surface; however, he did not feel that the difference was the reason for the nose over. The airport facility directory noted that the turf surface was in fair condition, the runway was not maintained in winter, and that a taxiway intersected the turf runway at midfield.
