WASHINGTON (May 4, 2026) — The National Transportation Safety Board has enhanced its U.S. Civil Aviation Accident Dashboard to include findings data, expanding public access to key safety information derived from NTSB investigations.
The addition of findings allows users to explore the causal and contributing factors identified in aviation accidents, providing deeper insight into safety trends.
The Civil Aviation Accident Dashboard now serves as a comprehensive, interactive tool for examining accident data, including event details, phases of flight and associated findings, within a single platform.
“The integration of findings into the Civil Aviation Accident Dashboard gives users a more complete understanding of why accidents occur,” said Akbar Sultan, director of the NTSB Office of Research and Engineering. “This enhancement supports our mission to improve transportation safety by making critical investigative data more accessible and easier to analyze.”
As a result of this update, the General Aviation Accident Dashboard, introduced in 2023, has been retired. Its functionality has been incorporated into the Civil Aviation Accident Dashboard, streamlining access to aviation safety data.
The Civil Aviation Accident Dashboard covers U.S. civil aviation accidents and allows users to filter and visualize data by year, aircraft category, phase of flight, defining event and findings.
The dashboard is available on the Statistical Reviews section of the NTSB website.
To report an incident/accident or if you are a public safety agency, please call 1-844-373-9922 or 202-314-6290 to speak to a Watch Officer at the NTSB Response Operations Center (ROC) in Washington, DC (24/7).
