## 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 LAX98FA264](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/LAX98FA264), Aug 15, 1998: North American Navion (N8820H), Salinas, CA, destroyed, 2 fatal. Probable cause: the pilot's attempt to continue visual flight operations into an area of known instrument meteorological conditions resulting in controlled flight into rising terrain.
