## 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 DFW07LA118](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/DFW07LA118), May 20, 2007: Grumman American AA-5B (N28730), Hilltop Lakes, TX, substantial damage. Probable cause: The loss of engine power due to carburetor ice. Contributing factors were the lack of suitable terrain for a forced landing and the weather conditions that were conducive to carburetor ice.
