## 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 ANC96LA088](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/ANC96LA088), Jun 15, 1996: Piper PA-32-300 (N8956N), Gustavus, AK, substantial damage. Probable cause: A loss of engine power due to low fuel pressure from the engine driven fuel pump and subsequent fuel starvation. A factor was the lack of suitable terrain for a forced landing.
