## 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 FTW96LA155](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/FTW96LA155), Mar 24, 1996: Domaille Rans S-12 (N4017S), Albuquerque, NM, substantial damage, 1 fatal. Probable cause: the student pilot's failure to maintain control of the aircraft after initiating a flight into adverse weather conditions. The strong, gusting wind was a factor.
