## Newest cases

- [NTSB CEN19LA054](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/CEN19LA054), Jan 12, 2019: Canadair CL 600 2A12 (N813WT), Uvalde, TX, substantial damage. Probable cause: The airplane’s encounter with wind shear on short final approach to the runway, which resulted in a hard landing and fracture of the right main landing gear.
- [NTSB GAA18LA062](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/GAA18LA062), Oct 13, 2017: Diamond Aircraft Ind DA 40 (N965DS), Mesa, AZ, substantial damage. Probable cause: A coyote strike and the subsequent operation of the airplane, which led to internal composite wing structure damage.
- [NTSB ERA16LA234](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/ERA16LA234), Jun 24, 2016: Piper PA28 (N3024C), Poughkeepsie, NY, substantial damage. Probable cause: An overstress failure of the left main landing gear attachment bolts, which resulted in the left main landing gear collapse.

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.
