## 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 CHI96LA315](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/CHI96LA315), Aug 21, 1996: Beech C-23 (N18780), Eden Prairie, MN, substantial damage. Probable cause: the instructor pilot delayed the remedial action and failed to maintain adequate supervision. The slow airspeed maintained by the student pilot was a factor.
