## 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 CHI94LA321](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/CHI94LA321), Sep 14, 1994: Cessna 152 (N89897), Decatur, IN, substantial damage. Probable cause: the pilot-in-command's failure to maintain a proper altitude and his inadequate visual outlook. A factor was the tower.

## FAA accident and incident reports (1)

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.
