## 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 IAD02LA041](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/IAD02LA041), Apr 3, 2002: Cessna U206F (N1523U), Matinicus, ME, substantial damage. Probable cause: A partially blocked fuel metering unit inlet screen, which resulted in a partial loss of engine power. Also causal, was the operator's lack of inlet screen inspection procedures.
