- In the Query field, enter: <aircraft make>
- On the far right, click Add Rule
- Using the Field dropdown menu on the new rule line, select Common Investigation Fields -> Basic Info -> Event Date
- Set the Condition field to Is on or after
- Enter the earliest date for which you want to find accidents in MM/DD/YYYY format (i.e., for the past 12 months, you would enter 06/21/20)
- Click the SEARCH icon on the right
- You should end up with a list of accidents; click on the PDF link in the Report field to view the full report for each.
