## 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 CEN19LA111](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/CEN19LA111), Mar 26, 2019: Cessna 140 (N76268), Newton, KS, substantial damage. Probable cause: The loss of engine power after the No. 1 connecting rod end separated as a result of oil starvation, which led to the forced landing and nose-over.
