## NTSB investigations (2)

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 LAX07CA226](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/LAX07CA226), Jul 23, 2007: Beech C23 (N6005X), Taylor, AZ, destroyed. Probable cause: the student pilot's misjudged landing flare and inadequate recovery from a bounced landing that resulted in a hard landing and a loss of directional control.
- [NTSB LAX06CA052](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/LAX06CA052), Nov 24, 2005: Beech C23 (N6005X), Holbrook, AZ, substantial damage.
