# NTSB investigations, AR: Structural icing

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 CEN21FA198](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/CEN21FA198.md): Piper PA-46-310P · Danville, AR · Accident · 4 fatal · Class 3 · Field · Final report · Apr 23, 2021 · N461DK · Substantial damage
  > The pilot’s improper decision to continue flight in an area of moderate-to-heavy icing conditions, which resulted in exceedance of the airplane’s anti-icing system capabilities, a degradation of aircraft performance, and subsequent aerodynamic stall.
- [NTSB CEN13LA198](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/CEN13LA198.md): Piper PA 46-350P · Rogers, AR · Accident · No injuries · Limited investigation · Final report · Mar 11, 2013 · N71DH · Substantial damage
