## 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 ERA13LA084](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/ERA13LA084), Dec 9, 2012: Merritt Leslie R Kelly D (N5172S), Brandon, MS, substantial damage. Probable cause: A total loss of engine power during takeoff for reasons that could not be determined because postaccident examination did not reveal any anomalies that would have precluded normal operation.

## FAA accident and incident reports (1)
