## 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 LAX96LA158](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/LAX96LA158), Apr 6, 1996: Let Blanik L-13 (N65379), Jean, NV, substantial damage. Probable cause: the pilot's poorly planned approach. The flight's encounter with a downdraft is a factor in this accident.
