## NTSB investigations on N160HA (1)

From the NTSB's public API. Aircraft are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported serial number, make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.

- [NTSB ERA09LA452](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/ERA09LA452), Aug 9, 2009: Maxair Drifter (N160HA), Bumpass, VA, substantial damage, 1 fatal. Probable cause: The accelerated stall induced by the pilot in a steep turn to avoid obstacles during takeoff. Contributing to the accident were the pilot’s chosen takeoff path and the density altitude.
