## Latest cases

- [NTSB SEA07FA231](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/SEA07FA231.md): Schempp-Hirth Ventus-CM · Benton, CA · Accident · 1 fatal · Field investigation · Final report · Aug 10, 2007 · N41BM · Destroyed
  > The pilot's failure to maintain aircraft control while maneuvering and the inadvertent entry into a stall/spin. Contributing to the accident were the mountainous terrain conditions, unfavorable wind conditions, and the terrain-induced turbulent wind…
- [NTSB FTW98LA284](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/FTW98LA284.md): Schempp-Hirth Ventus CM · Taos, NM · Accident · No injuries · Limited investigation · Final report · Jun 15, 1998 · N94DP · Substantial damage
  > The pilot's improper flare. Contributing to the accident was the sudden wind shift which rendered the aircraft uncontrollable when the aircraft was on final approach to land.

  > The pilot's failure to maintain adequate airspeed which resulted in a stall mush. Contributing was a high density altitude causing deteriorated aircraft performance, and an inadequate preflight preparation which resulted in an overgross aircraft condition.
