## Newest cases

- [NTSB CEN24LA318](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/CEN24LA318), Jun 20, 2024: Ayres S2R (N4004K), Stanwood, MI, substantial damage. Probable cause: The pilot’s failure to maintain terrain clearance during a low-level aerial application flight, which resulted in impact with terrain and a subsequent forced landing. Contributing to the accident was…
- [NTSB CEN23FA359](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/CEN23FA359), Aug 12, 2023: Vans RV14 (N6161), Virden, IL, substantial damage, 1 fatal. Probable cause: The pilot/builder’s improper configuration of the canopy latch micro switch, which incorrectly signaled a closed canopy before flight that resulted in an inflight opening of the airplane’s canopy, an…
- [NTSB CEN23LA135](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/CEN23LA135), Mar 14, 2023: Bell Helicopter Textron APT70 (N314AL), Mineral Wells, TX, substantial damage. Probable cause: The flight crew’s loss of control of the unmanned aircraft due to software limitations. Contributing to the accident was the overly restrictive low voltage threshold limits.

- [NTSB CEN17LA065](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/CEN17LA065), Dec 23, 2016: Lueck Kitfox 7 (N320RJ), Cody, WY, substantial damage. Probable cause: Improper maintenance of the fuel pressure regulator, which resulted in an excessive fuel and airbox pressure differential and subsequent loss of engine power.
- [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 WPR13LA217](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/WPR13LA217), May 2, 2013: Robinson R44 II (N442RN), Pomeroy, WA, substantial damage. Probable cause: The pilot's failure to ensure that the helicopter was properly loaded, which resulted in the helicopter being in excess of its maximum allowable gross weight and led to a loss of main rotor rpm on…

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.
