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 MAKING AN APPROACH AND GO-AROUND, THE PILOT TURNED TO A DOWNWIND AND MOVED THE GEAR SELECTOR TO THE DOWN POSITION. HOWEVER, THE GEAR WOULD NOT EXTEND BY USING EITHER THE NORMAL SYSTEM OR EMERGENCY HAND PUMP. SUBSEQUENTLY, THE AIRCRAFT WAS LANDED ON A GRASS STRIP WITH THE GEAR IN AN INTERMEDIATE POSITION. AN INVESTIGATION REVEALED THAT A HYDRAULIC, GEAR DOWN, HOSE ASSEMBLY, PN S2178-4-0102, HAD FAILED. THIS RESULTED IN A LOSS OF HYDRAULIC FLUID. REPORTEDLY, THIS WAS AN ORIGINAL HOSE WITH 1208 FLIGHT HOURS OF USAGE.
