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 pilot stated that he intended to fly one circuit around the landing pattern to warm the engine oil in preparation for an annual inspection of his Cessna 182RG, and forgot to extend the landing gear before landing. The main landing gear bulkheads were minimally ground down during the slide on the concrete runway. Postcrash check of the landing gear warning system revealed the electrical warning module was inoperative.
The pilot's failure to complete the before landing checklist and extend the landing gear, resulting in a gear up landing. A factor in the accident is the failure of the landing gear warning circuit to activate the cockpit warning horn.
On November 30, 1999, about 1205 eastern standard time, a Cessna 182RG, N1818R, registered to a private individual, operating as a Title 14 CFR Part 91 personal flight, made a gear-up landing at Jacksonville International Airport, Jacksonville, Florida. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed and no flight plan was filed. The airplane received substantial damage and the private-rated pilot, the sole occupant, was not injured. The flight originated from the same airport about 15 minutes before the accident. According to the pilot, he intended to fly the airplane around the landing traffic pattern to warm the crankcase oil in preparation for an oil change and annual inspection, and forgot to lower the landing gear for landing. A postaccident check of the airplane revealed the main landing gear bulkheads were minimally ground down by the slide on the concrete runway, and the gear unsafe warning horn circuit was inoperative, although the gear up amber position lights operated normally. According to an FAA inspector, the pilot stated to him that he failed to extend the landing gear. The inspector confirmed that the dual warning horn assembly, (stall and gear-up with throttle at idle) was found to be inoperative, postaccident.
