## 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 FTW96LA369](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/FTW96LA369), Sep 2, 1996: Piper PA-32R-300 (N7640F), Salida, CO, substantial damage. Probable cause: total failure of the induction air control linkage (bolt), which allowed the alternate air door to close and starve the engine of air.

## FAA accident and incident reports (1)

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.
