## NTSB investigations on N56897 (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 WPR15LA266](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/WPR15LA266), Sep 23, 2015: Piper PA 28 (N56897), Elko, NV, substantial damage. Probable cause: The pilot's failure to sufficiently lean the engine’s fuel-to-air mixture for the given density altitude, which resulted in reduced engine power output and the airplane’s inability to climb.
