## 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 LAX96LA151](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/LAX96LA151), Mar 31, 1996: Cessna 150L (N5266Q), Sacramento, CA, substantial damage. Probable cause: A loss of engine power due to carburetor ice and the student's failure to use carburetor heat. The carburetor icing (weather) condition was a related factor.
