## 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 LAX93LA291](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/LAX93LA291), Jul 17, 1993: Piper PA-39 (N8975Y), Thermal, CA, substantial damage. Probable cause: the pilot's inadvertent movement of the landing gear selector switch to the up position.
