## 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.

Probable cause: the pilot's failure to maintain airspeed during the takeoff which resulted in an inadvertent stall. A factor related to the accident was the tall grass on the airstrip.
