## 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 SEA97LA058](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/SEA97LA058), Feb 6, 1997: Cessna 421C (N45MV), Cedar City, UT, substantial damage. Probable cause: water contamination in the hydraulic system, which froze in the (right) main gear hydraulic actuator, and restricted movement of the (right) main gear retraction and extension system.
