## 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 NYC96LA154](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/NYC96LA154), Jul 22, 1996: Cessna 172K (N46700), West Milford, NJ, substantial damage. Probable cause: the pilot's failure in attaining the proper touchdown point, and his delay in initiating a go-around (aborted landing).

## FAA accident and incident reports (1)

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.
