## Latest cases

- [NTSB CEN16FA344](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/CEN16FA344.md): Aves Douglas James RV 6 · Viborg, SD · Accident · 2 fatal · Field investigation · Final report · Sep 2, 2016 · N676DT · Destroyed
  > The pilot's failure to maintain airplane control, which resulted in the airplane exceeding its critical angle of attack, an aerodynamic stall, and subsequent flat spin into terrain.
- [NTSB CEN16CA364](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/CEN16CA364.md): Beech V35B · Sioux Falls, SD · Accident · No injuries · Data collection · Final report · Aug 30, 2016 · N23583 · Substantial damage
  > The pilot's failure to adequately manage the available fuel supply, resulting in fuel starvation and a total loss of engine power. Contributing to the accident was the inadequate preflight by the pilot and flight instructor, and the flight instructor's…
- [NTSB DCA16IA215](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/DCA16IA215.md): Airbus A320 232 · Wood, SD · Incident · Minor injuries · Incident investigation · Final report · Aug 12, 2016 · N632JB · Minor damage

  > The pilot's failure to maintain adequate airspeed and his exceedance of the airplane's critical angle-of-attack during a steep turn at a low altitude, which resulted in an aerodynamic stall/spin at too low of an altitude to recover.
