## NTSB investigations (2)

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 CHI03LA223](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/CHI03LA223), Jul 24, 2003: Cessna 172H (N8226L), Red Wing, MN, substantial damage. Probable cause: The pilot's failure to follow the checklist resulting in fuel starvation and subsequent loss of engine power.
