## Newest cases

- [NTSB WPR24FA124](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/WPR24FA124), Apr 14, 2024: Gulfstream 695A (N965BC), San Bernardino, CA, destroyed, 1 fatal. Probable cause: The pilot’s continued use of the airplane’s autopilot after flight into moderate to severe icing conditions, which resulted in an exceedance of the airplane’s critical angle of attack and an…
- [NTSB WPR23FA080](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/WPR23FA080), Jan 2, 2023: Embraer Executive EMB-505 (N555NR), Provo, UT, substantial damage, 1 fatal. Probable cause: The pilot’s failure to deice the airplane before takeoff in weather conditions conducive to ice accumulation, which resulted in an ice-contaminated wing and subsequent stall during takeoff.
- [NTSB CEN21LA030](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/CEN21LA030), Oct 26, 2020: Cessna 210 (N9622T), Lubbock, TX, destroyed, 1 fatal. Probable cause: The pilot’s improper decision to fly into icing conditions with an airplane that was not equipped for icing, which led to structural icing and a subsequent loss of airplane control, and the pilot’s…
- [NTSB CEN16LA098](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/CEN16LA098), Jan 8, 2016: Cessna 441 (N779CC), Fargo, ND, substantial damage. Probable cause: The pilot’s failure to cycle the surface deice boots during the instrument approach in icing conditions, which led to ice accumulation on the leading edges of the wings and empennage, and resulted in…
- [NTSB DCA15MA029](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/DCA15MA029), Dec 8, 2014: Embraer EMB-500 (N100EQ), Gaithersburg, MD, destroyed, 6 fatal. Probable cause: the pilot's conduct of an approach in structural icing conditions without turning on the airplane's wing and horizontal stabilizer deice system, leading to ice accumulation on those surfaces, and…
- [NTSB DCA14FA058](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/DCA14FA058), Feb 5, 2014: Embraer EMB145 - EP (N802HK), Memphis, TN, substantial damage. Probable cause: the failure of the flight crew to adequately monitor the system for proper operation and manually activate the system during the flight in icing conditions. Contributing to the accident was the…

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.
