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.

NTSB Number
WPR26LA171
The pilot reported that he became distracted by converging traffic and the short runway while entering the traffic pattern. During the approach, he did not complete his before-landing checklist or extend the landing gear. He stated that because the engine rpm remained above the landing gear warning horn activation threshold during the approach, the horn did not sound. The airplane landed with the landing gear retracted and slid to rest on the runway, resulting in substantial damage to the lower fuselage. The pilot reported no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
NTSB Probable Cause
The pilot’s failure to extend the landing gear before landing due to distraction and his failure to conduct the before landing checklist.
