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.

AFTER A TOUCH-&-GO LANDING, THE FLT CREW NOTED A PROBLEM WITH THE LANDING GEAR. A CHECK OF THE HYDRAULIC SYS REVEALED A LACK OF FLUID IN THE RESERVOIR; THE PLTS WERE UNABLE TO EITHER RETRACT OR EXTEND THE GEAR. SUBSEQUENTLY, THEY LANDED THE ACFT WITH THE NOSE & RGT MAIN GEAR EXTENDED & THE LEFT MAIN GEAR IN A TRAIL POSITION. THE LEFT WING TIP, LEFT MAIN GEAR DOOR & LEFT STABILIZER WERE DAMAGED DURING THE LANDING. AN EXAM OF THE HYDRAULIC SYS REVEALED THAT A HOSE TO THE RIGHT MAIN GEAR DOOR ACTUATOR WAS LEAKING & HAD PERMITTED DEPLETION OF THE HYDRAULIC FLUID. THE HOSE WAS DETERIORATED FROM AGE.
