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.

According to the pilot, during the landing roll, he was attempting to retract the flaps but inadvertently grabbed and moved the landing gear lever to the retracted position. Immediately after, the pilot recalled hearing the landing gear position warning horn and realized his mistake, but the landing gear down locks had already disengaged and the landing gear subsequently collapsed. The airplane slid down the runway before coming to rest to the right of the runway in a drainage ditch, resulting in substantial damage to the left wing. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
NTSB Probable Cause
The pilot’s inadvertent retraction of the landing gear lever during the landing roll, which resulted in a gear collapse and runway excursion.
