## 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 LAX96LA028](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/LAX96LA028), Oct 29, 1995: Piper PA-28-140 (N8074C), Congress, AZ, substantial damage. Probable cause: failure of the #3 cylinder exhaust valve. A factor was the pilot's need to perform an evasive maneuver to avoid colliding with an automobile.
