## Newest cases

- [NTSB WPR26LA159](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/WPR26LA159), Apr 13, 2026: Cirrus Design SR22T (N285AH), Fullerton, CA, substantial damage. Probable cause: The pilot’s loss of control during takeoff, due to the seat sliding aft.
- [NTSB ERA24LA098](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/ERA24LA098), Jan 25, 2024: Burkhart Grob Flugzeugbau G103 Twin Astir (N1202Z), Zephyrhills, FL, substantial damage. Probable cause: The glider pilot’s failure to release from the towline after the tow plane experienced a loss of engine power.
- [NTSB CEN21FA290](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/CEN21FA290), Jun 24, 2021: American AA-1A (N9261L), Cleburne, TX, destroyed, 2 fatal. Probable cause: The canopy moving fully open during flight, which resulted in the pilot’s distraction and a subsequent aerodynamic stall/spin and loss of control.
- [NTSB GAA19CA506](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/GAA19CA506), Aug 22, 2019: Grob G103 (N901BG), San Antonio, TX, substantial damage. Probable cause: The failure of the glider tow rope, which lodged in the glider's rudder and resulted in a hard landing. Contributing to the accident was the pilot's failure to properly secure the glider's aft canopy.
- [NTSB GAA19CA324](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/GAA19CA324), Jun 9, 2019: David Shotwell Murphy (N235DS), South Lake Tahoe, CA, substantial damage. Probable cause: The pilot's failure to properly tighten his seat belt, which allowed him to slide forward in his seat and resulted in his inadvertent application of excessive brake application during the landing…
- [NTSB GAA18CA251](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/GAA18CA251), Apr 17, 2018: Beech 95 B55 (N4464S), Suffolk, VA, substantial damage. Probable cause: The pilot’s failure to properly secure the portable GPS and antenna cable, which resulted in the inadvertent landing gear retraction during landing.

Probable cause: A loss of engine power due to fuel exhaustion as a result of the pilot’s inadequate fuel planning. Contributing to the severity of the front passenger’s injuries was the pilot’s decision to depart…
- [NTSB CEN13LA342](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/CEN13LA342), Jun 10, 2013: Cessna 150K (N6412G), Morrilton, AR, substantial damage. Probable cause: The flight instructor's inadequate training and oversight of the student pilot, which resulted in the noncertificated student pilot's loss of control during landing.
- [NTSB CEN12LA452](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/CEN12LA452), Jul 12, 2012: Mikoyan Gurevich MIG 21MF (N9307), Minneapolis, MN, substantial damage. Probable cause: The pilot's delayed application of wheel brakes to slow the airplane down on landing and the airplane’s failed drag chute, which resulted in a runway overrun.

NTSB has coded findings and defining events since 2008; earlier cases used its older occurrence and cause codes and aren't counted.

Findings: https://openairdocs.org/ntsb-findings.md. Defining events: https://openairdocs.org/ntsb-events.md. Phases of flight: https://openairdocs.org/ntsb-phases.md. Every investigation, filtered by finding, event, phase, state, year or model: https://openairdocs.org/ntsb.md (for example ?state=MI&fatal=1).

NTSB's definitions: Accident and incident, 49 CFR 830.2 (https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-49/subtitle-B/chapter-VIII/part-830/subpart-A/section-830.2), CICTT occurrence categories (PDF) (https://www.ntsb.gov/safety/data/Documents/datafiles/OccurrenceCategoryDefinitions.pdf), CICTT phases of flight (PDF) (https://www.ntsb.gov/safety/data/Documents/datafiles/PhaseofFlightDefinitions.pdf), and NTSB coding manual, before 2008 (PDF) (https://www.ntsb.gov/GILS/Documents/codman.pdf). NTSB publishes no definitions for its findings, only their names.
