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 airplane experienced a main gear collapse following an undershoot landing. The pilot was returning to land after the aircraft's entry door opened on takeoff. The inspector stated the airplane touched down on sandy soil approximately 30 feet prior to the approach end of runway 25. He stated the right main gear cocked sideways when the airplane contacted the runway which was approximately 3 inches higher then the terrain. The airplane continued onto the runway and the right main gear collapsed approximately 400 feet past the approach end of the runway. The airplane then traveled off the right side of the runway where it came to rest.
The pilot's misjudged distance/altitude which resulted in an undershoot. A related factor was the pilot's diverted attention due to the open cabin door.
