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.
Denver, CO
The pilot and his passenger were performing a local flight after the installation of a new GPS system. After flying for about 15 minutes, the pilot lowered the landing gear in preparation to land. The pilot observed the landing gear in an extended position via landing gear mirrors and confirmed a cockpit gear down light indication. After touchdown, the main landing gear collapsed. The airplane skidded and came to rest upright on an adjacent taxiway. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the left horizontal stabilizer and left elevator. Postaccident examination of the landing gear system revealed no anomalies that would have precluded normal operation. During the examination, 10 landing gear extensions and retractions were performed without any anomalies noted with the system. The cockpit landing gear light indications functioned during each gear cycle, and no leaks in the system were detected. The reason for the main landing gear collapse could not be determined.
The main landing gear collapsed during landing for reasons that could not be determined.
