## NTSB investigations (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 DFW07LA102](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/DFW07LA102), May 2, 2007: Walker Zenith Zodiac 601 XL (N10028), Canadian, TX, substantial damage, 1 fatal. Probable cause: The pilot's improper pre-flight planning and decision to depart into deteriorating weather conditions, which resulted in a loss of control and subsequent in-flight break up.
