## 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 NYC98LA126](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/NYC98LA126), Jun 10, 1998: Piper PA-24-180 (N6977P), Taunton, MA, substantial damage. Probable cause: a delayed decision by the pilot to abort the takeoff, which resulted in an overrun. A factor was false reading from the airspeed indicator.
