## 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 ATL01LA100](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/ATL01LA100), Aug 29, 2001: Rockwell S2R (N8438V), Bentonia, MS, substantial damage. Probable cause: The loss of engine power due to the loss of throttle cable continunity. The throttle cable linkage was worn beyond servicable limits. A factor was uneven terrain at the emergency landing site.
