## 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 ERA18LA165](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/ERA18LA165), Jun 10, 2018: Cessna 182 (N3889D), Arecibo, PR, substantial damage. Probable cause: Maintenance personnel's failure to properly apply torque to the engine through bolts, which ultimately resulted in the crankshaft failure and the total loss of engine power.
