## NTSB investigations on N6317U (2)

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 LAX96LA190](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/LAX96LA190), Feb 17, 1996: Aerostar S-77A (N6317U), Tucson, AZ, no damage. Probable cause: the interruption to the pilot's planned landing approach due to obstructions in the original touchdown spot, which led to the pilot misjudging the landing flare.

Probable cause: the pilot's misjudgement of the balloon's excessive rate-of-descent in a high wind landing and her inadequate remedial action to correct the condition.
