## 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 LAX98LA062](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/LAX98LA062), Dec 21, 1997: Piper PA-24-260 (N8805P), Healdsburg, CA, substantial damage. Probable cause: the pilot's misjudged distance and altitude relationship to the runway during a short field approach, which resulted in an undershoot and a hard landing.
