## NTSB investigations on N44 (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 MIA89MA023](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/MIA89MA023), Nov 2, 1988: Rockwell 1121A (N44), Oak Grove, PA, destroyed, 3 fatal. Probable cause: FAILURE OF THE PILOT IN COMMAND TO OBSERVE THE RAPID ACCRETION OF ICE ON THE AIRPLANE DUE TO HIS ATTENTION BEING DIVERTED.
