## 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 SEA01LA053](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/SEA01LA053), Feb 25, 2001: Gibbs V-6 Stol (N230VG), Newberg, OR, substantial damage. Probable cause: the pilot's mismanagement of his available fuel, the fuel starvation of the engine, and the pilot's excessive rate of descent during the touchdown portion of a power-off forced landing.
