## 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 MIA96LA133](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/MIA96LA133), Apr 28, 1996: Mooney M20C (N5635Q), Cullowhee, NC, destroyed. Probable cause: The pilot's inadequate compensation for wind conditions. The gusty/crosswind condition was a related factor.
