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 and the flight instructor were returning to the airport at the conclusion of a flight review. While in the airport traffic pattern, the pilot and the flight instructor were having a discussion about practice landings, and during the landing approach, the pilot forgot to extend the landing gear. The airplane subsequently contacted the runway with the landing gear retracted, resulting in substantial damage to the fuselage and empennage. The pilot reported that there were no preimpact mechanical malfunctions or failures of the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.

NTSB Probable Cause

The pilot’s failure to extend the landing gear before landing. Contributing to the accident was the fight instructor’s inadequate supervision of the pilot.
