- [NTSB WPR19LA141](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/WPR19LA141.md): Flight Design Ctls · Boulder City, NV · Accident · Serious injuries · Class 3 · Limited · Final report · May 7, 2019 · N423EB · Substantial damage
  > The pilot’s improper monitoring and failure to maintain airspeed during a critical phase of flight, which resulted in an exceedance of the airplane’s critical angle of attack, an aerodynamic stall, and subsequent impact with terrain.
- [NTSB WPR16FA067](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/WPR16FA067.md): Flight Design Ctls · Springville, CA · Accident · 2 fatal · Field investigation · Final report · Feb 11, 2016 · N911TS · Destroyed
  > The pilot's failure to maintain adequate airspeed while maneuvering at low altitude in hilly terrain, which resulted in the airplane's wing exceeding its critical angle-of-attack and a subsequent aerodynamic stall. Contributing to the accident were the…
- [NTSB ERA16FA031](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/ERA16FA031.md): Flight Design Ctls · Queens, NY · Accident · 1 fatal · Field investigation · Final report · Nov 5, 2015 · N622BT · Substantial damage
  > The noninstrument-rated pilot's spatial disorientation and subsequent loss of airplane control while maneuvering at low altitude, over water with no visible horizon, in dark night conditions, which resulted in a collision with the water.
- [NTSB GAA15CA151](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/GAA15CA151.md): Flight Design Ctls · Andover, MN · Accident · No injuries · Data collection · Final report · Jun 21, 2015 · N799CT · Substantial damage
