## Latest cases

- [NTSB ERA13LA012](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/ERA13LA012.md): Cirrus Design SR22 · Birmingham, AL · Accident · Serious injuries · Limited investigation · Final report · Oct 6, 2012 · N80KW · Substantial damage
  > The pilot's failure to maintain airplane control during a missed approach in instrument meteorological conditions. Contributing to the accident was the pilot's overreliance on the autopilot system and his inability to hand-fly the airplane once the autopilot…
- [NTSB CEN13FA002](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/CEN13FA002.md): Cirrus Design SR22 · Gary, IN · Accident · 2 fatal · Field investigation · Final report · Oct 3, 2012 · N308PJ · Substantial damage
  > The pilot's loss of control during an instrument approach due to spatial disorientation. Contributing to the accident were deficient approach control services and the pilot's loss of positional awareness.
- [NTSB WPR12FA421](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/WPR12FA421.md): Frederick F 1 · Reno, NV · Accident · No injuries · Field investigation · Final report · Sep 14, 2012 · N158CF · Substantial damage
  > The pilot’s operation of the airplane above the established never-exceed speed and the incorrect installation of the trim tab control horn, which resulted in the flutter of the left elevator trim tab.
- [NTSB ERA12FA540](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/ERA12FA540.md): Cirrus Design SR22 · Falmouth, MA · Accident · 1 fatal · Field investigation · Final report · Sep 1, 2012 · N221DV · Substantial damage
  > The flight instructor’s inadequate remedial action. Contributing to the accident was the student pilot’s poor control of the airplane during the approach.
- [NTSB CEN12LA495](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/CEN12LA495.md): Cirrus Design SR22 · Lakeview, AR · Accident · No injuries · Limited investigation · Final report · Jul 29, 2012 · N462CP · Substantial damage
  > The pilot’s loss of control during the takeoff roll for reasons that could not be determined because postaccident examination of the airplane did not reveal any anomalies that would have precluded normal operation.
- [NTSB ERA12LA473](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/ERA12LA473.md): Cirrus Design SR-22 · Pickens, SC · Accident · No injuries · Limited investigation · Final report · Jul 22, 2012 · N138CK · Substantial damage
  > A total loss of engine power due to the failure of the crankshaft, which resulted from the application of insufficient torque on the cylinder through-bolts by maintenance personnel.
- [NTSB ERA12FA303](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/ERA12FA303.md): Cirrus Design SR22 · Anderson, SC · Accident · 1 fatal · Field investigation · Final report · Apr 27, 2012 · N154CK · Substantial damage
  > The pilot's failure to maintain control of the airplane during the aborted landing, which resulted in an aerodynamic stall and impact with terrain.
- [NTSB CEN12FA251](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/CEN12FA251.md): Cirrus Design SR22 · Newcomerstown, OH · Accident · 1 fatal · Field investigation · Final report · Apr 21, 2012 · N110EB · Substantial damage
  > The pilot’s loss of airplane control in instrument meteorological conditions due to his distraction by electrical system anomalies, which resulted in an uncontrolled descent. The reason for the electrical system anomalies could not be determined.
- [NTSB ERA12LA219](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/ERA12LA219.md): Cirrus Design SR22 · Homestead, FL · Accident · No injuries · Limited investigation · Final report · Mar 9, 2012 · N444VR · Substantial damage
  > The inadequate servicing and maintenance of the engine and the airplane owner and maintenance personnel's disregard of the manufacturer's recommended engine overhaul schedule and service bulletins, which resulted in an in-flight internal failure and seizure…
- [NTSB ERA12FA205](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/ERA12FA205.md): Cessna LC42-550FG · Salisburry, NC · Accident · 2 fatal · Field investigation · Final report · Mar 2, 2012 · N167ZP · Destroyed
  > The non-instrument-rated pilot's decision to continue flight into instrument meteorological conditions, which resulted in spatial disorientation and a loss of control.
- [NTSB CEN12FA174](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/CEN12FA174.md): Hemp Timothy Legacy 2000 · Belen, NM · Accident · 2 fatal · Field investigation · Final report · Mar 1, 2012 · N273TE · Destroyed
  > The pilot’s failure to maintain clearance from power lines while maneuvering after takeoff. Contributing to the accident was the pilot’s decision to operate the airplane during the hours of darkness when he had a restriction for daytime flight only due to…
