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.

During approach, the pilot attempted to extend the landing gear, but it remained retracted. The pilot was unable to extend the landing gear via normal or emergency procedures, and subsequently observed that all the hydraulic fluid had leaked out of the reservoir. The pilot diverted to a larger airport and performed a gear-up landing. During the landing, the airplane skidded right, and came to rest upright partially off the right side of the runway. Examination of the wreckage revealed substantial damage to the right horizontal stabilizer and right elevator. The examination also revealed that a hydraulic hose (possibly the original hose) had deteriorated and separated from its fitting, allowing all the hydraulic fluid to leak out of the system.

NTSB Probable Cause

Failure of a landing gear extension system hydraulic hose, which resulted in a landing with the landing gear retracted.
