## 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 ATL96LA059](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/ATL96LA059), Mar 9, 1996: Cessna 172K (N79058), Asheville, NC, substantial damage. Probable cause: failure of the brake on the right main landing gear as a result of water (ice) in the brake fluid, which resulted in a loss of braking control.

## 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.
