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 during the landing roll at about 15 mph the airplane veered to the right. He applied left rudder and left brake to correct for the veer, but the left main landing gear collapsed. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the lower fuselage and left wing. Examination of the left main landing gear by the NTSB Materials Laboratory revealed that it fractured due to the loss of its protective paint coating and alteration of the local surface finish, likely caused by impermissible surface grinding, which led to intergranular attack and subsequent fatigue cracking.
NTSB Probable Cause
Failure of the left main landing gear due to the loss of the protective paint coating and a change in the local surface finish from impermissible grinding, which resulted in fatigue cracking.
