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.

DURING THE APCH, THE PLT WAS UNABLE TO GET A SAFE DOWN INDICATION FOR THE RIGHT MAIN GEAR. HE CHANGED THE LIGHT BULB & STILL DID NOT GET A SAFE INDICATION. A TOWER FLYBY WAS MADE, BUT THE TOWER OPERATOR WAS UNABLE TO CONFIRM IF THE RIGHT GEAR WAS LOCKED. TO TEST THE GEAR, THE PLT MADE A LANDING APPROACH TO THE RWY & ALLOWED THE ACFT TO TOUCHDOWN MOMENTARILY. HE RECALLED THAT THE RIGHT SIDE SETTLED LOWER THAN THE LEFT SIDE, SO HE BURNED OFF EXCESS FUEL, AND DECIDED TO LAND WITH THE OTHER TWO GEAR DOWN & LOCKED. DURING THE LANDING, THE PLT WAS UNABLE TO KEEP THE ACFT ON THE RWY. IT VEERED OFF THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE RWY, & AFTER TRAVELING APRX 2000 FT, IT CAME TO REST WITH THE RIGHT MAIN GEAR COLLAPSED.
