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 was conducting a maintenance test flight and had conducted several landings, all of which were uneventful. During the final approach to land, he thought he had lowered the landing gear but did not confirm whether the gear-down advisory lights were illuminated. He subsequently landed the airplane with the landing gear retracted, which resulted in substantial damage to the lower fuselage composite structure. The pilot reported no pre-accident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation. The pilot added that the LED gear-down advisory lights were not very bright and that sunlight made them difficult to see.
