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 January 13, 2026 about 1220 mountain standard time, a Cessna 750, N772XJ, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident near Mountain Village, Colorado. The pilots and passenger were not injured. The airplane was operated under the provisions of Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 135 as an on-demand air taxi flight. The pilots reported that during the airplane’s descent into Telluride Regional Airport (TEX), they encountered turbulent conditions with a strong northwesterly wind resulting in airspeed fluctuations between 5 and 10 kts. They aligned the airplane with runway 9 and the wind was shifting between north and northeast. The touchdown was smooth and on centerline. Spoilers were deployed and forward pressure was applied on the control column to keep the nosewheel in contact with the runway. Shortly after touchdown, the airplane encountered a strong gust of wind from the left (north). The airplane veered to the right and the nose came up momentarily. Both pilots applied firm pressure on the control column and the nosewheel contacted the runway again. Thrust reversers were deployed along with an input of left rudder. The airplane veered sharply to the left. Both pilots applied right rudder, maximum braking and reverse thrust to regain directional control. The airplane continued to the left and exited the side of the runway. The left main gear sideloaded, and the right main gear collapsed. The pilots stated that the airplane did not respond normally when they corrected for the right drift. The fuselage was substantially damaged. The airplane was retained for further examination. Reported wind at TEX at 1215 was 020° at 4 kts.
