## NTSB investigations (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 LAX95LA115](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/LAX95LA115), Feb 16, 1995: Skov-Papworth Q2 (N2103), Hollister, CA, substantial damage. Probable cause: the pilot's failure to maintain directional control of the aircraft during the takeoff ground roll. The pilot's lack of recent experience is a factor in the accident.
