## 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 CHI94LA123](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/CHI94LA123), Mar 25, 1994: Cessna 152 (N89761), Dubuque, IA, substantial damage. Probable cause: the student pilot's improper recovery from a bounced landing. The student pilot's lack of total flight experience was a factor.
