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.
Lemmon Valley-Golden Valley, NV
The pilot reported that he had performed a stop-and-go in a dirt clearing with a slight upslope. The pilot attempted to land in the clearing a second time, but during the landing flare, the pilot realized that he was going to land about 50 to 100 ft past his previous landing point and observed large sticks and a dirt mound in the available landing area ahead of the airplane. The pilot said that he initiated a go-around by applying full power and noted that he did not have the performance while in the low energy state. Subsequently, the landing gear briefly contacted the ground and the left wing dropped before the airplane impacted terrain. During the accident sequence, the left wing, left flaperon, and fuselage sustained substantial damage. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
