## 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 MIA96LA125](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/MIA96LA125), Apr 22, 1996: Rans S6ES (N5144X), Bayou La Batre, AL, substantial damage. Probable cause: the pilot's inadequate compensation for wind conditions. The gusty/crosswind condition was a related factor.

## FAA accident and incident reports (1)
