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.

ERA21LA303
The flight instructor reported that they were number two to land and the student, a private pilot, began to configure the airplane for landing. The instructor became distracted with a departing airplane and another airplane on short final and as a result, the landing gear was never confirmed to be extended prior to touch down and they landed with the gear retracted, which resulted in substantial damage to the lower fuselage. The operator reported there were no mechanical deficiencies that contributed to the accident.
NTSB Probable Cause
The pilot’s failure to extend the landing gear prior to landing. Contributing to the accident was the flight instructor’s inadequate supervision to confirm the landing gear was extended.
