Overall Trends
Total, fatal, and serious accidents in the selected range.
Search investigations, review source evidence, monitor watched reports, and trace long-term patterns from one calm, data-first workspace.
Fast key and full-text search with live filters, watches, and precise metadata.
Use quotes for exact phrase matches (for example "fuel selector valve").
Track fatal and non-fatal accident patterns across Part 91, Part 135, and Part 121 operations.
Major cases, deep-report coverage, and investigation media across decades of NTSB history.
Move quickly by aircraft, airport, operator, and time with indexes built for research, not wandering.
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.
Mcgregor, TX
The captain reported that the airplane was on a stabilized approach when, just before the airplane touched down, he heard a horn activate. He did not realize that the landing gear was not fully down until the nose landing gear touched down and he heard metal grinding. The airplane veered off the right side of the runway and came to rest about 20 ft from the edge. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the bottom of the fuselage. The captain’s recollection of the landing gear selection was “fuzzy” following the accident. A postaccident functional test of the landing gear system showed normal extension and retraction. No other preaccident failures or malfunctions were noted with the airplane or systems that would have precluded normal operations. The lack of anomalies indicated that the flight crew failed to ensure the landing gear was down before landing.
The flight crew’s failure to ensure the landing gear was down which resulted in a gear up landing and subsequent runway excursion.
