The NTSB's narrative final · quoted from the NTSB record
A MECHANIC NOTICED THE AIRPLANE HAD BEEN SUBSTANTIALLY DAMAGED AS HE PREPARED IT FOR MAINTENANCE. THE OPERATOR SAID THE DAMAGE WAS CONSISTENT WITH A HARD LANDING. TWO PILOTS WHO HAD MOST RECENTLY RENTED THE AIRPLANE WERE QUESTIONED BY THE OPERATOR. ONE PILOT ATTRIBUTED THE DAMAGE TO THE PREVIOUS PILOT'S POOR PREFLIGHT INSPECTION. THE OTHER PILOT SAID THE DAMAGE WAS NOT THERE WHEN HE MADE HIS PREFLIGHT INSPECTION. HE LATER FLEW THE AIRPLANE.

About this page
Everything above comes from the NTSB's public accident database: the narrative, probable cause and findings are the NTSB's own words, and the coded tables behind its report (pilot, aircraft, flight, weather, injuries, sequence of events) are written out in plain English. Pilots' ages, home towns and medical details are left out on purpose. The docket at the NTSB holds the report as a PDF and the investigation's photographs and documents. This site never names pilots, passengers or anyone else involved. A preliminary report describes what is known soon after the event and can change; the final report, with the probable cause, usually follows one to two years later and this page is refreshed when it does. Case number DEN93LA010.
