## Newest cases

- [NTSB DCA17FA076](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/DCA17FA076), Mar 8, 2017: Mcdonnell Douglas MD80 (N786TW), Ypsilanti, MI, substantial damage. Probable cause: the jammed condition of the airplane's right elevator, which resulted from exposure to localized, dynamic wind while the airplane was parked and rendered the airplane unable to rotate during takeoff.…
- [NTSB DCA15FA073](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/DCA15FA073), Feb 24, 2015: Mcdonnell Douglas MD 11F (N584FE), St. Louis, MO, no damage. Probable cause: a partial inflation of the 1L escape slide/raft due to undetermined reasons resulting in insufficient capability to support the weight of the crewmember.
- [NTSB DCA13MA120](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/DCA13MA120), Jul 6, 2013: Boeing 777-200ER (HL7742), San Francisco, CA, destroyed, 3 fatal. Probable cause: The flight crew's mismanagement of the airplane's descent during the visual approach, the pilot flying's unintended deactivation of automatic airspeed control, the flight crew's inadequate monitoring…
- [NTSB CHI08IA182](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/CHI08IA182), Jul 7, 2008: Mcdonnell Douglas MD-81 (N804ME), St. Louis, MO, incident, minor damage. Probable cause: The inadvertent partial inflation of the evacuation slide within the tailcone during takeoff and subsequent binding of the elevator control cables. The partial inflation resulted from the tailcone…

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.
