## 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 ERA14LA329](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/ERA14LA329), Jul 5, 2014: Flight Design CT-SW 2006 (N508CT), Gasport, NY, substantial damage, 1 fatal. Probable cause: The pilot's failure to maintain adequate airspeed following a left turn during takeoff, which led to the airplane exceeding its critical angle-of-attack and experiencing an aerodynamic stall.
