NTSB aviation accident and incident investigations since 1962: the probable cause, findings, aircraft, crew, weather and docket of each, linked to the FAA registry and the FAA’s own reports.

## Latest cases

- [NTSB ENG17IA006](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/ENG17IA006.md): Bombardier CL 600 2C10 · Kansas, IL · Incident · No injuries · Incident investigation · Final report · Nov 29, 2016 · N367CA · No damage
  > The probable cause of the uncontained No. 1 (left) engine failure was a separated high pressure turbine 2nd stage blade that failed due to a fatigue crack that originated below the blade platform from an area of corrosion.
- [NTSB CEN16LA294](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/CEN16LA294.md): Bell 47G 2 · Oshkosh, WI · Accident · No injuries · Limited investigation · Final report · Jul 30, 2016 · N975BH · Substantial damage
  > The loosening and separation of the throttle linkage nut, which resulted in a loss of throttle control and subsequent hard landing after autorotation.
- [NTSB ENG16IA027](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/ENG16IA027.md): Boeing 757 · Jamaica, NY · Incident · No injuries · Incident investigation · Final report · Jul 7, 2016 · N706TW · Minor damage
  > Maintenance personnel's failure to ensure proper installation of a fuel tube O-ring, which resulted in an undercowl engine fire during initial climb.
- [NTSB CEN16LA186](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/CEN16LA186.md): Piper PA 32R · Alpine, TX · Accident · No injuries · Limited investigation · Final report · May 15, 2016 · N185DX · Substantial damage
  > The engine’s decreased performance due to high-density altitude conditions and a partially obstructed fuel injector nozzle. Contributing to the pilot's decision to perform an off-field landing was the anomalous high exhaust gas temperature reading.
- [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 ERA16FA170](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/ERA16FA170.md): Beech 76 · Pompano Beach, FL · Accident · Serious injuries · Field investigation · Final report · Apr 25, 2016 · N6709Y · Destroyed
  > The flight instructor's failure to maintain airplane control while demonstrating a simulated engine failure. Contributing to the accident was the pilot's improper response to the simulated engine failure.
- [NTSB CEN16IA091](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/CEN16IA091.md): Mitsubishi MU 300 · Little Rock, AR · Incident · No injuries · Incident investigation · Final report · Jan 12, 2016 · N200LP · Minor damage
  > The flight crew's inadequate preflight inspection of the airplane, during which they failed to see a fueling mat that had been placed on the inboard trailing edge of the right wing, which the right engine subsequently ingested during the takeoff roll.…
