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.

THIS PILOT WAS MAKING A TAKEOFF FOR A LOCAL FLIGHT IN HIS PIPER PA-24. HE STATED THAT HE WAS AIRBORNE WHEN HE RAISED THE LANDING GEAR SWITCH BUT THE AIRPLANE SETTLED BACK TO THE RUNWAY. PILOT SAID HE BECAME AIRBORNE AGAIN BUT COULD NOT GET A SAFE INDICATION. AFTER USING EMERGENCY EXTENSION, HE WAS STILL UNABLE TO GET A DOWN AND LOCKED INDICATION SO HE ELECTED AND EXECUTED A LANDING ON THE GRASS ALONGSIDE THE RUNWAY. THE GEAR COLLAPSED ON TOUCHDOWN.
