How to read these records

The NTSB files an accident when someone is killed or seriously hurt or the aircraft is substantially damaged, and an incident for a less serious safety event. A preliminary report gives the early facts and names no cause. A final report adds the probable cause.

Records are filed under the N-number at the time of the event. N-numbers can move to another aircraft, so a record may describe a different airframe than the one registered today. Each aircraft page checks the serial number and says which it is.
