## 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 FTW02LA107](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/FTW02LA107), Mar 28, 2002: Grumman-Schweizer G-164B (N8498K), Ferriday, LA, substantial damage. Probable cause: the failure of the number three cylinder exhaust rocker arm, resulting in a total loss of engine power. A contributing factor was the lack of suitable terrain for the forced landing.
