## 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 LAX94LA074](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/LAX94LA074), Dec 17, 1993: Piper PA-23-250 (N8769B), Showlow, AZ, substantial damage. Probable cause: the pilot's poorly planned approach, improper emergency procedures, and his failure to feather the propeller. The inoperative fuel selector valve was a factor in this accident.
