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.

In preparation to land his single-engine airplane, the pilot extended the landing gear and visually confirmed that all three gear were down and locked and all three gear-down lights were illuminated. Upon landing, the right main gear collapsed and the airplane veered off the side of the runway. A postaccident examination of the airplane revealed that the left and right main landing gear down-locks were not fully engaging the gear. A review of photographs taken at the accident site revealed large clumps of grass protruding from the runway surface. It is possible that the right main landing gear may have struck one of these clumps during landing and knocked it out of the position.
