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 pilots had been practicing instrument approaches, and they decided to land. The owner-pilot receiving instruction made a normal landing but during the rollout, the nose landing gear collapsed. The airplane slid on its nose, then began to veer to the left. The right main landing gear then collapsed. An FAA inspector who examined the airplane found the landing gear selector in the DOWN position, and the flap handle in the UP position. The landing gear doors were open. The landing gear torque tubes were bent and not broken.

NTSB Probable Cause

Inadvertent landing gear retraction by person(s) undetermined. A factor was the inadequate supervision of the flight by the flight instructor.

Full Narrative

On March 16, 2000, at 1356 mountain standard time, a Beech B55, N13RJ, was substantially damaged when the nose landing gear, and right main landing gear, collapsed during landing roll at Ogden-Hinkley Field, Ogden, Utah. The commercial certificated flight instructor (pilot in command) and the private pilot receiving instruction (aircraft owner) were not injured. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed, and no flight plan had been filed for the personal flight being conducted under Title 14 CFR Part 91. The flight originated at Salt Lake City, Utah, approximately 1320. According to the accident report submitted by the aircraft owner, the two pilots had been practicing instrument approaches, and they decided to land. The owner said he made a normal landing but during the rollout, the nose landing gear collapsed. The airplane slid on its nose, then began to veer to the left. The right main landing gear then collapsed. Fuselage bulkheads, stringers, and ribs were damaged. According to the FAA inspector who examined the airplane, the landing gear selector was in the DOWN position, and the flap handle was in the UP position. He said the gear motor, which later tested satisfactory, had to have been working because the gear doors were open. In addition, he said the landing gear torque tubes were bent and not broken.
