## NTSB investigations (198, newest 50)

From the NTSB's public API. Aircraft are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported serial number, make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.

- [NTSB ANC25LA095](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/ANC25LA095), Aug 21, 2025: Helio H-395 (N44344), Pilot Point, AK, substantial damage. Probable cause: The pilot's inadequate takeoff performance planning, which resulted in a runway excursion and collision with terrain.
- [NTSB ERA25LA091](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/ERA25LA091), Jan 5, 2025: Helio HT-295 (N18JC), Marion, OH, substantial damage. Probable cause: The failure of the right main landing gear spring due to intergranular stress-corrosion cracking that progressed into fatigue. Contributing to the accident was the improper rework of the spring at an…
- [NTSB ANC23LA082](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/ANC23LA082), Sep 17, 2023: Helio H-295 (N713C), Fairbanks, AK, substantial damage. Probable cause: The pilot’s encounter with windshear during initial climb out, which resulted in a loss of control.
- [NTSB ANC20CA092](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/ANC20CA092), Sep 10, 2020: Helio H 295 (N68857), Fairbanks, AK, substantial damage. Probable cause: The pilot’s decision to initiate a right turn immediately after departure and his failure to maintain a proper crosswind correction, which resulted in a collision with terrain.
- [NTSB CEN19LA251](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/CEN19LA251), Jul 27, 2019: Ryan Navion (N27AW), Chicago, IL, substantial damage. Probable cause: The failure of the left main landing gear upper side brace assembly during landing due to reverse bending fatigue as a result of the incomplete penetration of the circumferential weld during initial…
- [NTSB WPR19FA096](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/WPR19FA096), Mar 16, 2019: Beech 50 (N800DC), Riverside, CA, substantial damage, 1 fatal. Probable cause: The pilot’s failure to maintain airspeed and control of the airplane following a loss of right engine power for reasons that could not be determined based on the available information.
- [NTSB ERA18LA201](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/ERA18LA201), Jul 26, 2018: Aero Commander 560 (N2705B), Crestview, FL, substantial damage. Probable cause: A collapse of the right main landing gear for reasons that could not be determined based on the available information.
- [NTSB WPR18FA198](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/WPR18FA198), Jul 17, 2018: Ryan Navion (N5329K), Truckee, CA, substantial damage, 2 fatal. Probable cause: A loss of engine power for reasons that could not be determined.
- [NTSB GAA18CA225](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/GAA18CA225), Apr 21, 2018: Republic RC 3 (N9042N), Pelion, SC, substantial damage. Probable cause: The pilot’s failure to maintain directional control during landing in gusting crosswind conditions.
- [NTSB ANC16LA071](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/ANC16LA071), Sep 26, 2016: Helio H-295 (N68857), Delta Junction, AK, substantial damage. Probable cause: The pilot’s decision to take off from a wet, snowy airstrip and his delayed decision to abort the takeoff, which resulted in a runway excursion.
- [NTSB GAA16CA509](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/GAA16CA509), Sep 17, 2016: Grumman G44 (N111W), Lakeport, CA, substantial damage. Probable cause: The pilot's failure to retract the landing gear, which resulted in a gear-down water landing and a nose over.
- [NTSB ANC16LA067](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/ANC16LA067), Sep 16, 2016: Helio H 295 (N6464V), Fairbanks, AK, substantial damage. Probable cause: Excessive side loads imposed on the tailwheel A-frame during the takeoff roll, which resulted in a separation of the tailwheel and the subsequent loss of directional control.
- [NTSB GAA16CA366](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/GAA16CA366), Jul 10, 2016: Helio H 295 (N9185Z), Grants Pass, OR, substantial damage.

Probable cause: A partial loss of engine power during takeoff for reasons that could not be determined because postaccident examination of the airframe and engine did not reveal any anomalies that would have…
- [NTSB GAA15CA055](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/GAA15CA055), Apr 18, 2015: Beech C 50 (N38MM), Honesdale, PA, substantial damage. Probable cause: The pilot's failure to stop the airplane on the runway during landing, resulting in an overrun, landing gear collapse and substantial damage to the airplane.
