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.

No. Little Rock, AR
DURING AN APPROACH THE PILOT EXECUTED A GO AROUND AND RETRACTED THE LANDING GEAR AND REENTERED THE TRAFFIC PATTERN. FOLLOWING THE REENTRY THE PILOT PLACED THE LANDING GEAR HANDLE IN THE DOWN POSITION FOR THE NEXT APPROACH, A FULL STOP. THE PILOT REPORTED THAT HE DID NOT VERIFY THE LANDING GEAR DOWN LIGHTS INDICATED 3 IN THE GREEN. FOLLOWING THE GEAR UP LANDING THE LANDING GEAR CIRCUIT BREAKER WAS FOUND POPPED AND THE GEAR HANDLE WAS DOWN. NO REASON COULD BE ESTABLISHED FOR THE POPPED LANDING GEAR CIRCUIT BREAKER
THE FAILURE OF THE PILOT TO FOLLOW THE CHECKLIST. A FACTOR WAS THE POPPED CIRCUIT BREAKER
On April 21, 1993, at approximately 1640 central daylight time, a Cessna 320C, N3057T, was substantially damaged following a gear up landing at North Little Rock Municipal Airport, North Little Rock, Arkansas. The commercial pilot, sole occupant of the airplane, was not injured. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed for the personal local flight. During an interview, conducted by a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) inspector, and in a written statement the pilot reported the following information. While climbing to reenter the traffic pattern for a full stop landing, the pilot retracted the landing gear. Following his entry into the traffic pattern he placed the landing gear handle in the down position, however, he reported that "the pilot failed to verify 3 in the green before landing." An examination of the airplane following the accident and prior to removal from the site revealed that the landing gear handle was down and the circuit breaker was popped. No determination could be made for the popped circuit breaker. The airplane was released to the owner by the FAA inspector.
