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.

AS THE LANDING GEAR WAS RAISED FOLLOWING TAKEOFF, THE FLIGHT CREW HEARD A 'CRUNCHING' SOUND, FOLLOWED BY A 'NOSE GEAR UNSAFE' LIGHT. AFTER SEVERAL UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPTS TO LOWER THE GEAR, THEY ELECTED TO LAND THE AIRCRAFT AT THE NASHVILLE INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT. THE AIRCRAFT WAS LANDED WITH THE NOSE GEAR PARTIALLY EXTENDED. DURING THE LANDING ROLL, THE AIRCRAFT FORWARD PRESSURE BULKHEAD WAS DAMAGED FROM CONTACT WITH THE RUNWAY SURFACE. SUBSEQUENT INVESTIGATION REVEALED THAT A MECHANIC EMPLOYED BY THE OPERATOR HAD INADVERTENTLY LEFT A 10-INCH FLASHLIGHT IN THE UPPER SECTION OF THE NOSE GEAR WELL DURING HIS PRE-FLIGHT INSPECTION. DURING THE LANDING GEAR RETRACTION, THE NOSE GEAR BECAME JAMMED BY THE FLASHLIGHT, AND COULD NOT BE RAISED OR LOWERED.
NTSB Probable Cause
