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.

CEN25LA154

The airplane was being positioned to its home base after it had undergone routine landing gear maintenance and inspection. During the approach to the airport, the pilot noticed that the left main landing gear (MLG) was not down and locked in position for landing. The pilot made multiple attempts to extend the gear and verify a down-and-locked indication without success. After executing the emergency gear extension checklist, the pilot made a low pass at the airport, and personnel on the ground advised over the common traffic advisory frequency that the landing gear appeared to be extended. The pilot prepared for a landing based on this information despite the continued unsafe gear warning annunciation. During the landing, the touchdown was normal, and the airplane slowed normally. After taxiing clear of the runway, the pilot stopped the airplane to complete post-landing checklist items when the left MLG collapsed. The pilot and passenger were not injured. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the left wing. Postaccident examination of the left MLG revealed that the left MLG down lock hook was not properly engaged during the landing.

NTSB Probable Cause

The failure of the left main landing gear down lock to engage and subsequent collapse of the left main landing gear.
