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.
Quail Heights, FL
On February 16, 2026, at 1020 eastern standard time a Cessna 182G, N515CL, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident near Quail Heights, Florida. The pilot and two passengers were not injured. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight. The pilot reported that during the preflight inspection he added a small quantity of fuel to both wing tanks to ensure both were full, then sumped the wing tank drains and the fuel strainer, finding no contamination. Taxi out and runup were normal with no anomalies noted. Shortly after takeoff, the engine lost all power. The pilot decided to return to the airport and conducted a downwind landing opposite the direction of departure. After touchdown, he was unable to stop the airplane, and it overran the runway and subsequently impacted trees. The left wing and fuselage sustained substantial damage. Post accident examination by the NTSB and FAA found no visible damage to the engine. Engine control continuity was established. Fuel was observed in both wing tanks, the carburetor bowl, and the fuel strainer, which also contained a small amount of particulate contamination. The upper spark plugs were removed and several exhibited sooting on the electrodes. The wreckage was retained for further examination.
