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.

The pilot said he was performing his third touch-and-go landing when during the ground roll the right main landing gear collapsed. The airplane went down on its right wing. Subsequently, the right wing was bent upwards, and the right side of the fuselage was wrinkled. Postaccident examination of the right main landing gear strut, by a private metallurgist contracted by the insurance company, revealed a preexisting fatigue fracture which extended through approximately 50 percent of the strut.

NTSB Probable Cause

The collapse of the right main landing gear during landing due to a fatigue crack, in the strut, which had an undetermined origin.
