## Latest cases

- [NTSB WPR23LA159](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/WPR23LA159.md): Vashon Ranger R7 · Upland, CA · Accident · No injuries · Class 4 · Limited · Final report · Apr 18, 2023 · N349VR · Substantial damage
  > The pilot's improper selection of the mixture control, which resulted in a total loss of engine power and a collision with the airport boundary fence during a forced landing.
- [NTSB WPR22LA174](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/WPR22LA174.md): Bell Helicopter Textron Canada 407 · Livermore, CA · Accident · Serious injuries · Class 3 · Limited · Final report · May 11, 2022 · N999GH · Substantial damage
  > Loss of engine power due to the pilot inadvertently selecting engine IDLE mode while in flight, which reduced rotor and engine speed to a level that could not sustain flight.
- [NTSB WPR16IA100](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/WPR16IA100.md): Piper PA28 · San Carlos, CA · Incident · No injuries · Incident investigation · Final report · Apr 29, 2016 · N200KR · No damage
  > The failure of maintenance personnel to properly install and secure the input swivel boot on the swivel joint, which resulted in excessive vibration that led to fatigue cracks and failure of the throttle cable.
- [NTSB ENG14IA028](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/ENG14IA028.md): Airbus A320 232 · Long Beach, CA · Incident · No injuries · Incident investigation · Final report · Sep 18, 2014 · N656JB · Minor damage
  > The probable cause of the engine failure and subsequent undercowl engine fire was due to the fatigue fracture of a high pressure turbine stage 2 disk blade retaining lug that released two blades which impacted the low pressure turbine case causing a fuel line…
- [NTSB ENG14IA019](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/ENG14IA019.md): Boeing 767 332 · Los Angeles, CA · Incident · No injuries · Incident investigation · Final report · Jul 11, 2014 · N139DL · Minor damage
  > The combination of fuel leaking from the integrated drive generator (IDG) fuel/oil heat exchanger and the coincident arcing of the IDG power feeder cables that ignited the leaking fuel. Contributing to the ignition of the fuel was the misrouting of the IDG…
- [NTSB ENG11IA011](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/ENG11IA011.md): Boeing 737 · San Francisco, CA · Incident · No injuries · Incident investigation · Final report · Dec 25, 2010 · N248WN · No damage
  > The probable cause of the undercowl in-flight engine fire was the insufficient installation torque of the bolts that secure the fuel manifold cover to the fuel manifold. Engine vibrations and fuel pressure cycles caused the bolts to gradually loosen further…
