## Newest cases

- [NTSB ERA23LA124](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/ERA23LA124), Feb 6, 2023: Canton Paul A RV-6 (N330PC), Milton, FL, substantial damage. Probable cause: The incorrect installation of the fuel pickups, which resulted in a total loss of engine power due to fuel starvation. Contributing was the lack of documentation of the airplane’s unusable fuel.
- [NTSB GAA15CA153](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/GAA15CA153), Jul 1, 2015: Grumman American Avn. AA 5A (N9887U), Mackay, ID, substantial damage. Probable cause: The student pilot's disorientation in mountainous terrain and course deviation into a canyon, which resulted in the airplane's inability to out climb terrain and a forced landing.

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.
