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.

GAA19CA231
The flight instructor reported that, during the instructional flight, the pilot receiving instruction was practicing an engine-out landing. The landing checklist was called, but due to "wind effects," the landing gear were not extended. The airplane touched down on the runway centerline with the landing gear retracted. The airplane slid left, exited the runway, and impacted a landing light. The lower fuselage longerons were substantially damaged.
NTSB Probable Cause
The pilot receiving instruction's failure to extend the landing gear. Contributing to the accident were the pilot receiving instruction's failure to complete the landing checklist and the flight instructor's inadequate monitoring of the pilot.
Full Narrative
The flight instructor reported that during the instructional flight accomplishing takeoffs and landings, during the seventh landing, the landing checklist was called, but due to the "wind effects", the landing gear was not extended. During the approach, the airplane was configured with the left engine operating normally while the right engine was operating to simulate zero thrust. The airplane touched down on the runway centerline with the landing gear retracted. The airplane slid to the left, exited the runway, and impacted a landing light fixture. The lower fuselage longerons were substantially damaged. The flight instructor reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
