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.

The pilot reported that he was flying his amphibious airplane over a neighborhood and decided to do a touch and go on a lake; however, he failed to retract the landing gear and the airplane flipped over when it contacted the water. The airplane came to rest inverted in the lake and sustained substantial damage to both wings. The pilot did not report to the responding law enforcement officer that there were any mechanical malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation. The pilot was contacted on multiple occasions, but he did not submit the required National Transportation Safety Board Pilot/Operator Aircraft Accident/Incident Report Form 6120.1.

NTSB Probable Cause

The pilot’s failure to retract the landing gear on the amphibious airplane before landing on water.
