## 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 DEN04CA099](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/DEN04CA099), Jul 5, 2004: Cessna 172N (N737YJ), Laramie, WY, substantial damage. Probable cause: fuel exhaustion due to the pilot's improper inflight decision not to stop and refuel. A contributing factor was the unsuitable terrain on which to make a forced landing.
