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.
Pawtucket, RI
The commercial pilot stated that he was flying a Beech B100 on a visual approach to runway 33, a 3,210-foot long, 75-foot-wide, asphalt runway. The approach was executed with full flap extension, and the landing gear extended. The right main landing gear touched down approximately 2 feet prior to the runway, and collapsed as it traveled over the elevated runway edge. The airplane subsequently came to rest upright off the right side of the runway. The pilot did not report any pre-impact mechanical malfunctions with the airplane.
The pilot's misjudged distance and speed during final approach, which resulted in an undershoot and subsequent gear collapse.
