## 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 ERA22FA315](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/ERA22FA315), Jul 16, 2022: Piper PA12 (N3703M), Middle Township, NJ, substantial damage, 1 fatal.
