## 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 ATL96FA123](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/ATL96FA123), Aug 24, 1996: Burkhart Grob G-115D (N234VW), Indiantown, FL, destroyed, 2 fatal. Probable cause: failure of maintenance personnel to rebalance the flight controls after the airplane had been repainted, which resulted in rudder flutter and in-flight breakup of the airplane.
