- [NTSB GAA19CA525](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/GAA19CA525.md): Cessna 182 · Charleston, WV · Accident · Minor injuries · Data collection · Final report · Sep 5, 2019 · N2408Q · Substantial damage
  > The pilot's improper approach path at night and his misjudgment of the landing point, which resulted in landing short of the runway and impact with the runway's engineered materials arrestor system.
- [NTSB GAA19CA492](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/GAA19CA492.md): Douglas DC3C · Kenai, AK · Accident · No injuries · Data collection · Final report · Aug 1, 2019 · N59314 · Substantial damage

  > The pilot's failure to maintain an adequate glidepath during the approach, which resulted in the airplane impacting rocks and dirt at the runway threshold, a separation of the right main landing gear, and a loss of directional control.
- [NTSB GAA19CA471](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/GAA19CA471.md): Piper PA28 · Falcon, CO · Accident · No injuries · Data collection · Final report · Jul 31, 2019 · N8641W · Substantial damage
  > The pilot's failure to maintain a proper approach path and his delayed decision to go around, which resulted in impact with a construction barrier before the runway. Contributing to the accident was the pilot's decision to land on a runway closed for landing.
- [NTSB WPR19LA179](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/WPR19LA179.md): Stinson 108 · Caldwell, ID · Accident · Minor injuries · Class 3 · Limited · Final report · Jun 27, 2019 · N6116M · Substantial damage
