## 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 DEN07CA163](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/DEN07CA163), Sep 20, 2007: Aerostar S81A (N5294D), Hartsel, CO, no damage. Probable cause: the pilot's inability to maintain the proper descent rate. A factor contributing to the accident was the unfavorable wind conditions.
