## 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 FTW97FA262](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/FTW97FA262), Jul 11, 1997: Ryan Navion B (N5401K), Garfield, CO, destroyed, 4 fatal. Probable cause: failure of the pilot to maintain adequate airspeed, during a turn to reverse direction, which resulted in a stall and collision with a pole and a building. High density altiitude was a related factor.
