## Newest cases

- [NTSB WPR22FA298](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/WPR22FA298), Aug 10, 2022: Cirrus Design SR22 (N379DH), Blyn, WA, substantial damage, 1 fatal. Probable cause: The pilot’s continued operation of the airplane with known mechanical malfunctions with the flight displays, and his continued flight into instrument meteorological conditions, which resulted in an…
- [NTSB CEN21LA351](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/CEN21LA351), Aug 2, 2021: Cozy Mark IV (N1361S), Rushville, NE, substantial damage. Probable cause: A total loss of engine power due to an obstruction of airflow to the engine as a result of the landing brake being deployed in flight.
- [NTSB ERA19LA269](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/ERA19LA269), Sep 12, 2019: Mooney M20J (N202JB), Bowie, MD, substantial damage. Probable cause: A blockage of the pitot static system that preclude the airspeed indicator from displaying speeds greater than 40 mph, which led the pilot to abort the landing and overrun the runway.
- [NTSB CEN19LA187](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/CEN19LA187), Jun 28, 2019: Robinson R22 (N26498), Danbury, TX, substantial damage. Probable cause: A failed electrical relay, which provided an improper indication of a governor and clutch problem, which resulted in the pilot conducting a precautionary landing during which he failed to maintain…
- [NTSB CEN19FA100](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/CEN19FA100), Mar 17, 2019: Cessna 421 (N424TW), Plain City, OH, destroyed, 1 fatal. Probable cause: A loss of airspeed indication due to icing of the airplane's pitot probe, and the pilot's loss of control while maneuvering.
- [NTSB CEN19CA017](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/CEN19CA017), Oct 28, 2018: Piper PA28R (N6899C), Hobbs, NM, substantial damage. Probable cause: The pilot's incorrect altimeter setting during the night visual approach, which resulted in a controlled flight into terrain.
- [NTSB CEN19LA016](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/CEN19LA016), Oct 27, 2018: Rotorway 162 (N162RF), Passaic, MO, substantial damage. Probable cause: The electrical short in the main rotor rpm indicating unit which provided an inaccurate indication to the student pilot and resulted in substantial damage during the precautionary autorotation.
- [NTSB CEN17LA303](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/CEN17LA303), Aug 4, 2017: Cessna A188B (N3047J), Marshall, MO, substantial damage. Probable cause: The pilot's inability to accurately monitor the airplane's airspeed after takeoff due to an inoperative airspeed indicator, which resulted in the pilot's failure to maintain adequate airspeed and his…
- [NTSB ERA15FA378](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/ERA15FA378), Sep 30, 2015: Piper PA 30 (N21ND), St. Petersburg, FL, substantial damage, 1 fatal. Probable cause: The pilot's failure to maintain single-engine minimum controllable airspeed following a loss of right engine power during initial climb. Also causal was the loss of right engine power for reasons…
- [NTSB GAA15CA187](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/GAA15CA187), Jun 26, 2015: Hier James A Long EZ (N793H), Show Low, AZ, substantial damage. Probable cause: The right main landing gear leg fracture, which resulted in the landing gear wheel separation and a runway excursion.

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.
