Access the NTSB Aviation Accident Database

The NTSB aviation accident database contains information from 1983 and later from civil aviation accidents and selected serious incidents within the United States, or from U.S. registered aircraft elsewhere in the world. Generally, a preliminary report is available within a few days of an accident. Factual information is added when available, and when the investigation is completed, the preliminary report is replaced with a final description of the accident and its probable cause. Full narrative descriptions may not be available for dates before 1993, cases under revision, or where NTSB did not have primary investigative responsibility.

To use this database, simply fill in the fields with the appropriate information. Links to hints and instructions are available for each field. You may wish to review the general instructions and information about the database before using the form for the first time.
