## 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 LAX06LA111](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/LAX06LA111), Feb 12, 2006: Beech C23 (N3724Z), San Jose, CA, substantial damage. Probable cause: fuel starvation due to the pilot's improper fuel system management and failure to select the proper fuel tank. A factor was the rough, uneven terrain.
