## 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 LAX95LA177](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/LAX95LA177), May 2, 1995: Beech C23 (N6636R), Red Bluff, CA, substantial damage. Probable cause: the separation of the throttle linkage due to improper installation, and the pilot's misjudgement of the glide path necessary to reach the runway prior to shutting down the engine.
