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 PLT REPORTED THAT WHEN THE LANDING GEAR HANDLE WAS MOVED TO THE UP POSITION, THE HYDRAULIC PUMP CONTINUED TO OPERATE. SUBSEQUENTLY, THE CIRCUIT BREAKER FOR THE PUMP WAS PULLED TO KEEP THE MOTOR FROM OVERHEATING. SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO LOWER THE GEAR WITH THE NORMAL & EMERGENCY SYSTEMS WERE INEFFECTIVE, SO A GEAR UP LANDING WAS MADE ON A GRASS PORTION OF THE ARPT. AN EXAM OF THE LANDING GEAR SYSTEM REVEALED THAT THE SELECTOR VALVE IN THE SOLENOID, PN 210-61039, WAS STUCK. THIS PREVENTED MOVEMENT OF THE GEAR IN EITHER DIRECTION.
