  • Unreviewed is an editorial label, not an investigation status. API-sourced is not report-checked or human-reviewed. Explicit event totals are used without summing aircraft injury tables; onboard allocation is withheld. Unknown values remain unknown. The operation category is mapped from the NTSB-reported FAR part and has not been reviewed.
  • No bulk values were replaced by the NTSB case API.
  • The date is the UTC date the NTSB stores; the local time zone is not recorded, so the local date may differ by a day.
  • API snapshot SHA-256: 0b87195c6bd040073b11c133c7ba736eb937c02e30d35aab32f66700b92e54a8; retrieved 2026-09-15T07:22:29.529Z.

Shown unchanged where the report gives another value or wording: operator (shown FC Investments; report Cachapoyas Investment). Not checked: flight number and aircraft type.
