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 fight instructor reported that on the first landing the pilot-rated student failed to extend the landing gear. The instructor further reported that he didn't notice that the landing gear was in the UP position on approach to landing. Additionally, the pilot-rated student had set the manifold pressure at 15 inches, while the landing gear warning horn is set to activate at 13 inches of manifold pressure. The flight instructor also stated that the landing checklist was not accomplished. The airplane landed with all three landing gear in the retracted position, which resulted in substantial damage.
NTSB Probable Cause
The failure of the pilot under instruction to lower the landing gear, the failure of both pilots to follow the landing checklist, and the flight instructor's inadequate supervision of the flight.
