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.

Full Narrative
On August 11, 1999, at 1330 eastern daylight time, a Cessna 182, N6284A, piloted by a commercial pilot, was substantially damaged when its right main landing gear collapsed shortly after landing on runway 36 (2,649' X 75' dry asphalt) at the Al Meyers Airport, Tecumseh, Michigan. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time of the accident. The 14 CFR Part 91 flight was not operating on a flight plan. The pilot and passenger reported no injuries. The flight departed Tecumseh, Michigan, with one passenger and two student skydivers aboard who were dropped from 4000 feet msl. The on-scene investigation revealed the right main landing gear leg fractured about one inch outboard of the fuselage skin. The fracture originated from where the right main landing gear wheel's brake line is attached to the strut. Cessna Part 0741009-4, S/N P-55, right spring landing gear leg.
