## 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 CHI97LA121](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/CHI97LA121), May 5, 1997: Cessna 172 (N5254R), Wheeling, IL, substantial damage. Probable cause: the pilot-in-command's inadequate compensation for the wind conditions. A factor associated with the accident was the gusty crosswind condition.
