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.

NTSB Number
CEN11CA212
The pilot reported that he was arriving to land at a busy non-towered airport. He inadvertently forgot to extend the landing gear, partly because of the strong gusting headwind he experienced on final approach. His attention was directed toward making a smooth touchdown when he suddenly saw the propeller stop as it contacted the runway surface. After the airplane came to a stop, the pilot removed his electronic noise canceling headphones and he then heard the landing gear warning horn which was not wired into the audio interphone system. As a result of the impact sequence, there was substantial damage to the fuselage structure.
NTSB Probable Cause
The pilot’s failure to extend the landing gear during the approach resulting in a gear-up landing.
Full Narrative
The pilot was arriving to land at a busy non-towered airport. Two military helicopters were doing practice approaches ahead of the accident airplane and two other aircraft were also in the traffic pattern. The pilot reported he inadvertently forgot to extend the landing gear, partly because of the strong gusting headwinds he experienced on final approach. His attention was directed toward making a smooth touchdown when he suddenly saw the propeller stop as the airplane contacted the runway surface. After the airplane came to a stop the pilot removed his electronic noise canceling headphones and he then heard the landing gear warning horn which was not wired into the audio interphone system. There was substantial damage to the fuselage structure.
