## 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 SEA96LA075](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/SEA96LA075), Mar 28, 1996: Ryan Navion (N4826K), Kent, WA, substantial damage. Probable cause: the pilot's attempted operation with known deficiencies in the equipment, and a loose fuel system fitting. The pilot's failure to maintain maintenance service on the airplane was a factor.
