## 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 LAX97LA152](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/LAX97LA152), Apr 9, 1997: Cessna 172N (N8123E), Prescott, AZ, substantial damage. Probable cause: the student pilot's inadequate compensation for the crosswind condition, and his failure to maintain proper runway alignment.
