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 pilot initially reported that the airplane landed "a little hard" and he performed a go-around. During the second landing, the right main landing gear collapsed and the airplane departed the right side of the runway. In a subsequent statement, he described the first landing as a "bounce" and suggested a phenolic block in the airframe landing-gear support structure had failed, which resulted in the gear collapse and substantial damage to the airplane. Examination of the wreckage and photographs by a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) aviation safety inspector revealed that an aluminum landing gear bracket as well as the surrounding structure failed due to impact and overload.

NTSB Probable Cause

A hard landing by the pilot, which resulted in overload failure of landing gear components and surrounding structure.
