## Latest cases

- [NTSB DCA15LA011](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/DCA15LA011.md): Boeing 737 330 · Lanai, HI · Accident · No injuries · Limited investigation · Final report · Oct 17, 2014 · N301KH · Substantial damage
  > the improper loading and securing of the cargo pallets, which shifted on departure, resulting in substantial damage to the aft pressure bulkhead.
- [NTSB ERA14LA450](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/ERA14LA450.md): Barger Jerry L Challenger II · Clarion, PA · Accident · Serious injuries · Limited investigation · Final report · Sep 20, 2014 · N4017C · Substantial damage
  > The pilot's inadequate preflight planning, which resulted in a takeoff with the airplane's center of gravity aft of its limit and led the airplane to exceed its critical angle of attack and experience an aerodynamic stall during the initial climb.…
- [NTSB WPR14FA362](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/WPR14FA362.md): Cessna 177B · Neihart, MT · Accident · 1 fatal · Field investigation · Final report · Sep 2, 2014 · N34880 · Destroyed
  > The pilot's failure to maintain clearance from terrain while maneuvering at low altitude in turbulent conditions over mountainous terrain. Contributing to the accident was the pilot's improper decision to traverse the mountainous area with the airplane over…
- [NTSB CEN14FA453](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/CEN14FA453.md): Cessna 172R · Willoughby Hills, OH · Accident · 4 fatal · Field investigation · Final report · Aug 26, 2014 · N4207P · Destroyed
  > The pilot's failure to maintain control of the airplane while returning to the airport immediately after takeoff, which resulted in the airplane exceeding its critical angle of attack and entering an aerodynamic stall during the turn. Contributing to the…
- [NTSB ANC14FA068](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/ANC14FA068.md): Ryan Navion A · Coldfoot, AK · Accident · Serious injuries · Field investigation · Final report · Aug 24, 2014 · N4827K · Substantial damage
  > The pilot’s improper inflight planning and improper decision to deliberately operate the airplane at low altitude in close proximity to obstructions and rising terrain. Contributing to the accident were the pilot’s improper preflight planning and the Federal…
- [NTSB ERA14CA397](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/ERA14CA397.md): Raytheon G36 · Milton, FL · Accident · Minor injuries · Data collection · Final report · Aug 20, 2014 · N636TM · Substantial damage
  > The pilot's inadequate preflight planning, which resulted in an attempted takeoff over the airplane's maximum gross weight and beyond its aft center of gravity limit. Contributing to the accident was the pilot's lack of total flight experience in the aircraft…
- [NTSB ANC14LA058](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/ANC14LA058.md): Dehavilland DHC 2 · Talkeetna, AK · Accident · No injuries · Limited investigation · Final report · Jul 31, 2014 · N62197 · Substantial damage
  > The pilot’s inadequate preflight inspection that did not detect that the bulk fuel tank was full and led to an unanticipated heavy airplane weight and his failure to use the entire soft, wet, and muddy airstrip length for takeoff, which resulted in a takeoff…
- [NTSB ERA14FA343](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/ERA14FA343.md): Piper PA-32R-301T · North Captiva Island, FL · Accident · 1 fatal · Field investigation · Final report · Jul 16, 2014 · N297AS · Substantial damage
  > The pilot’s failure to secure the cargo in the cargo compartment, which resulted in a weight shift that led to the center of gravity exceeding its aft limit during a go-around attempt and a subsequent aerodynamic stall. Also causal to the accident were the…
- [NTSB CEN14FA278](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/CEN14FA278.md): Hermann Bjorn Lancair IV · Duluth, MN · Accident · 1 fatal · Field investigation · Final report · Jun 7, 2014 · N86NW · Substantial damage
  > The pilot's failure to maintain airplane control while operating in instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions, which was due to spatial disorientation resulting from erroneous heading and bank angle information shown on the primary flight display. Contributing…
