## 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.

Probable cause: a total loss of power due to the pilot's inadequate preflight planning and preparation and subsequent fuel exhaustion. A factor was the pilot's lack of experience in the airplane.
