## 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 DEN05FA045](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/DEN05FA045), Dec 29, 2004: Piper PA-31P (N573B), Gallup, NM, destroyed, 1 fatal. Probable cause: the pilot's failure to maintain minimum controllable airspeed which resulted in the loss of control, and impact with wires, a tree and terrain.
