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.
Fort Mohave, AZ
On April 7, 2026, about 1300 mountain standard time, a Cessna T-41B, N39ND, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident near Fort Mohave, Arizona. The pilot and passenger sustained minor injuries. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight. The pilot had returned from a local flight earlier that morning with no anomalies noted during the flight or landing. After shutting the engine down at his residence on the airpark, he later restarted the engine for a short local flight with his grandchild in the front seat. The pilot reported that shortly after the start of the takeoff roll, the airplane began veering left and he was unable to maintain directional control. The airplane exited the runway, traveled through rough terrain between the runway and taxiway area, crossed a berm while bouncing, and impacted the wall of a nearby residence’s attached garage. The airplane sustained substantial damage to both wings and the forward fuselage during the accident sequence. The pilot reported that the airplane never became airborne and that the estimated groundspeed was about 30 mph or less at the onset of the loss of directional control. He further stated that although he attempted to reduce power, the airplane was bouncing so much, that he could not grasp the throttle.
