## 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 FTW04LA092](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/FTW04LA092), Mar 15, 2004: Beech A36 (N789SA), Conroe, TX, substantial damage. Probable cause: The loss of engine power due to the improper fuel type. Contributing factors were the improper aircraft servicing, lack of training by the fixed base operator, and the low cloud ceiling.

## FAA accident and incident reports (1)
