## 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 FTW95LA085](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/FTW95LA085), Jan 9, 1995: Piper PA-31-350 (N50WT), Brownsville, TX, destroyed. Probable cause: THE FUEL STARVATION LOSS OF ENGINE POWER DUE TO THE PILOT'S IMPROPER USE OF THE FUEL TANK SELECTOR.
