## NTSB investigations (2)

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 MIA96LA202](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/MIA96LA202), Aug 4, 1996: Piper PA-32-260 (N3399W), Live Oak, FL, substantial damage. Probable cause: failure of the pilot to use carburetor heat during the approach to land, which resulted in loss of engine power due to carburetor ice. The weather (carburetor icing condition) was a related factor.
