## 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 CEN19TA205](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/CEN19TA205), Jul 4, 2019: Beech 23 (N7618R), Vaiden, MS, substantial damage. Probable cause: The pilot's unstable approach and failure to properly configure the flaps during the attempted go-around, which resulted in an aerodynamic stall and impact with terrain.
