Dave Houle Flight Test Accident Archive:
Dave Houle collected historical documentation from many notable aircraft mishaps. The documentation in this archive ranges from 1929-2011. Some are anecdotal articles, and others are full accident investigation reports. We have scanned these into searchable pdf files, available for download. There is also a rudimentary index of the contents of each file with a brief description of each article.
- Review the index to find the incident of interest.
- Locate the FT Accident file number (1-8) and page number next in the row of the selected incident to identify which volume contains the summary.
- Select the hyperlink of the specified volume, and go to the page number of interest for further details.
In the spirit of sharing lessons learned, if you have similar documentation that you feel will help other test crews, please contact us at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
