## 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 CHI89LA162](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/CHI89LA162), Aug 6, 1989: Taylorcraft BC12-D (N5131M), Garrettsville, OH, destroyed. Probable cause: THE PILOT DID NOT MAINTAIN ADEQUATE AIRSPEED AND ALLOWED THE AIRCRAFT TO INADVERTENTLY ENTER A STALL/SPIN. TURBULENCE WAS CONSIDERED TO BE A CONTRIBUTING FACTOR.
