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.

WPR14CA057

The pilot reported that he was asked by air traffic control to enter a right base, crossing in front of a passenger jet on final approach to another runway. The pilot further stated that he accepted this option and did not feel rushed; however, in doing so, it interrupted him from his typical traffic pattern entry and checklist usage, which resulted in him not extending the landing gear. The airplane subsequently landed gear up which resulted in substantial damage to the fuselage. The pilot reported no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.

NTSB Probable Cause

The pilot's failure to extend the landing gear before landing. Contributing to the accident was the pilot's improper use of the checklist.
