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.

Subsequently, the airplane touched down with the landing gear retracted and slid to a stop, in which a post-crash fire ensued over the right wing. The lower fuselage and right wing were substantially damaged. The pilot reported there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
