## NTSB investigations on N171TE (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 ATL99LA026](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/ATL99LA026), Nov 29, 1998: Beech 65-A90 (N171TE), La Tortue, Haiti, destroyed. Probable cause: Inadequate preflight planning/preparation by the pilot, which resulted in fuel exhaustion due to an inadequate supply of fuel. A factor was the terrain ( water).
