Source notes (5)
- 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.
- Filled from the NTSB case API where the bulk record had no value: coordinates. Values present in the bulk record are kept.
- 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: 2964073b6c0cb70f5c9b2a550f1146eda94a6c1f023a165d57beb4290f84ce63; retrieved 2026-09-13T18:11:04.986Z.
- Compared with the Bureau d'Enquêtes et d'Analyses pour la sécurité de l'aviation civile (BEA), France final report (2023-03) on 2026-09-18. No values are taken from it: its terms don't allow commercial reuse without a licence. The report states the same date, fatalities, registration (aircraft 1), registration (aircraft 2) and type of operation (aircraft 1). The report states a value this record doesn't have for ground fatalities, operator (aircraft 1), departure (aircraft 1), damage (aircraft 1), operator (aircraft 2), departure (aircraft 2) and damage (aircraft 2); it isn't shown. Not checked: place, crash-site coordinates, flight number, aircraft type and destination.
