## Latest cases

- [NTSB CHI03FA025](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/CHI03FA025.md): Robinson R22 · St. Jacob, IL · Accident · No injuries · Field investigation · Final report · Nov 20, 2002 · N559DD · Substantial damage
  > Fatigue fracture of the clutch assembly fan shaft and the resulting complete loss of power to the rotor drive system. A contributing factor was the loss of tail rotor authority due to the secondary failure of the control tube assembly.
- [NTSB SEA02LA183](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/SEA02LA183.md): Piper/Cub Crafters PA-18 · Gannett, ID · Accident · Minor injuries · Limited investigation · Final report · Sep 28, 2002 · N380CC · Substantial damage
  > The pilot's excessive braking during the landing rollout.
- [NTSB SEA02LA182](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/SEA02LA182.md): Cessna 172RG · Billings, MT · Accident · No injuries · Limited investigation · Final report · Sep 26, 2002 · N6525R · Substantial damage
  > The failure of the landing gear actuator during landing as a result of fatigue.
- [NTSB CHI02LA278](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/CHI02LA278.md): Frank RV-8A · Brodhead, WI · Accident · Minor injuries · Limited investigation · Final report · Sep 10, 2002 · N54LF · Substantial damage
  > The failure of the nose landing gear strut for undetermined reasons.
- [NTSB NYC02LA186](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/NYC02LA186.md): Robinson R-22B · Jamestown, KY · Accident · No injuries · Limited investigation · Final report · Sep 7, 2002 · N707RG · Substantial damage
  > The pilot's failure to maintain the proper descent rate, which resulted in low rotor rpm and a collision with water.
- [NTSB MIA02LA153](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/MIA02LA153.md): Reviere Vans RV6A · Tampa, FL · Accident · 2 fatal · Limited investigation · Final report · Aug 18, 2002 · N747ES · Destroyed
  > the failure of the pilot to maintain airspeed, which resulted in an inadvertent stall/spin, while maneuvering, and subsequent impact with a concrete wall. A factor in this accident was the impairment of the pilot in command due to the use of prescription…
- [NTSB FTW02LA227](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/FTW02LA227.md): Robinson R22 Beta · Cornudas, TX · Accident · Minor injuries · Limited investigation · Final report · Aug 3, 2002 · N681MP · Substantial damage
  > The pilot's failure to maintain rotor RPM and his improper landing flare. A contributing factor was the activation of a warning light.
- [NTSB LAX02LA239](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/LAX02LA239.md): Robinson R22 Beta · Prescott, AZ · Accident · No injuries · Limited investigation · Final report · Jul 27, 2002 · N232DR · Substantial damage
  > the student pilot's failure to maintain adequate main rotor rpm, the CFI's delayed remedial action and inadequate supervision of the flight, resulting in a hard landing. Wind gusts and the high density altitude were factors in the accident.
- [NTSB LAX02LA067](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/LAX02LA067.md): Farrand Vans RV6 · San Jose, CA · Accident · No injuries · Limited investigation · Final report · Jan 10, 2002 · N164DF · Substantial damage
