## 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 LAX01LA173](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/LAX01LA173), May 5, 2001: Aero Commander 112A (N1159J), Riverside, CA, substantial damage. Probable cause: Failure of the pilot to maintain directional control of the airplane during the landing roll. A factor was the worn nose wheel steering assembly.
