Aviation safety reports, made easier to study

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.

ALL THREE LANDING GEARS COLLAPSED ON THE RUNWAY AS THE PILOT INADVERTENTLY RAISED THE GEAR LEVER AS HE ATTEMPTED TO MOVE THE FLAP SELECTOR LEVER TO THE UP POSITION WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKES DURING THE LANDING ROLLOUT. THE PILOT HAD ACCUMULATED 1,184 HOURS IN THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL, BUT LESS THAN TWO HOURS IN THE 1984 MODEL AIRPLANE PURCHASED TWO DAYS EARLIER. THE LOCATION OF THE GEAR AND FLAP SELECTORS WERE REVERSED FROM THE PREVIOUS MODELS.

NTSB Probable Cause

THE INADVERTENT LANDING GEAR RETRACTION BY THE PILOT. A FACTOR WAS THE PILOT'S NEGATIVE HABIT INTERFERENCE.

Full Narrative

On August 11, 1993, at 0825 central daylight time,a Beech 58, N7222V, was substantially damaged during landing at Adams Field in Little Rock, Arkansas. The commercial pilot and his passenger were not injured. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed for the executive transport flight. According to the pilot, during the landing roll out on Runway 36, he reached for the flap handle to retract the wing flaps as the airspeed decreased below 50 knots. The nose wheel immediately folded, followed by the main gears. The nose and left main landing gear fully retracted, while the right main gear was only partially retracted. The pilot further stated that the 1984 model Baron was purchased by the operator two days earlier. He had been flying an older model of the same type of airplane for many years and the location of the gear and flap handles were reversed on previous models. In the enclosed NTSB Form 6120.1/2, the pilot stated it was possible that he moved the landing gear lever but did not recall doing it. Damage to the airplane included four bulkheads and the keel assembly aft of the nose landing gear attaching point. The airplane was released to the owner's representative.
