## 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 LAX97FA259](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/LAX97FA259), Jul 28, 1997: Piper J3C-85 (N3339N), Bullhead City, AZ, destroyed, 2 fatal. Probable cause: improper judgement of the pilot by intentionally performing low level maneuvers, and his misjudgment of a level-off over water.

## FAA accident and incident reports (1)

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.
