## 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 CHI00LA193](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/CHI00LA193), Jul 1, 2000: Schleicher K8B (N885D), Manchester, MI, substantial damage. Probable cause: the downdraft experienced during final approach and altitude/clearance from the fence post not being maintained by the pilot. A factor to the accident was the fence post.
