## 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 LAX02LA202](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/LAX02LA202), Jun 18, 2002: Yakovlev YAK 52 (N644LL), Antioch, CA, destroyed, 1 fatal. Probable cause: The loss of control while performing acrobatic maneuvers due to a screwdriver restricting elevator travel.
