## 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.

- [NTSB LAX96LA237](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/LAX96LA237), Jun 5, 1996: Cessna 172N (N738PS), Ramona, CA, substantial damage. Probable cause: the pilot's misjudged and delayed landing flare, and inadequate recovery technique from a bounced landing (porpoise). Sun glare was a factor in the accident.
