## 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 SEA96LA091](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/SEA96LA091), May 10, 1996: Limes Challenger II (N52898), Redmond, OR, substantial damage. Probable cause: the pilot's misjudgment of distance and altitude on final approach, and his failure to maintain proper clearance from an object (fence) in his approach path. The fence was a related factor.

## FAA accident and incident reports (1)

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.
