## 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 DEN91FA049](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/DEN91FA049), Mar 10, 1991: Beech F33A (N4179S), Sterling, CO, destroyed, 2 fatal. Probable cause: POOR JUDGEMENT OF THE PILOT AND HIS MISJUDGEMENT OF ALTITUDE WHILE BUZZING OVER GLASSY WATER. HIS LACK OF VISUAL QUES TO JUDGE ALTITUDE OVER GLASSY WATER WAS A RELATED FACTOR.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.
