## 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 LAX94LA304](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/LAX94LA304), Jul 31, 1994: Piper PA-28-161 (N2500Y), Devore, CA, destroyed. Probable cause: was the failure of the pilot to follow checklist and emergency procedures, which resulted in an improper decision to land on a dirt road within two miles of an airport.
