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 the takeoff roll, the pilot accelerated the airplane to rotation speed. Upon starting to rotate the airplane, the nose landing gear began a retraction sequence, collapsing under the airplane, and the pilot reduced the throttles to idle and applied the brakes. The main landing gear also retracted, and the airplane slid to a stop on the runway, resulting in substantial damage to the lower fuselage. Both the pilot and the pilot rated passenger verified that the landing gear handle was in the down position prior to and after the accident sequence. Postaccident examination of the aircraft revealed damage to several wires leading to the landing gear selector switch on the instrument panel. The wires were found to be actively arcing when moved or touched.
NTSB Probable Cause
Damage to the landing gear selector switch wire bundle which resulted in an inadvertent retraction of the landing gear during the takeoff roll.
