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.

The pilot reported that while taxiing to the run-up area, he noticed that it was more congested than usual. While passing to the left of a muti-engine aircraft, the pilot focused his attention more than usual on right wing clearance and did not adequately monitor the left wingtip. Upon recognizing the inadequate clearance of the left wing tip, the pilot applied both brakes. Subsequently, the left wing struck a jet blast fence, which resulted in substantial damage to the left wing. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
