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.

Following an uneventful flight, the pilot overflew the destination airport and observed no apparent wind speed or direction on the windsock. The airplane approached the runway fast, and landed "very hard," separating the right main landing gear from the airplane in the process. The airplane bounced, veered off the right side of the runway, and the left main landing gear collapsed, before the airplane came to rest. The operator did not report any preimpact mechanical failures or malfunctions of the airplane.

NTSB Probable Cause

The pilot's improper flare, which resulted in a hard landing.

Full Narrative

According to the operator of the Beech 65-A90, following an uneventful flight the pilot overflew the destination airport and observed no apparent wind speed or direction on the windsock. After the airplane flew over trees and "dropped down" to approach the runway, it was "a little fast and had a very hard landing." The right main landing gear separated from the airplane before it bounced back into the air. The airplane continued down the runway on the left main and nose landing gear. The pilot shut down both engines as the airplane veered off the right side of the runway. The airplane then began moving "sideways," and the left main landing gear collapsed before the airplane came to rest. The operator did not report any preimpact mechanical failures or malfunctions of the airplane.
