## 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 FTW95LA365](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/FTW95LA365), Aug 27, 1995: Funk, D.D. B-85C (N89V), Grants, NM, destroyed. Probable cause: a loss of engine power for undetermined reasons. A factor was the lack of suitable terrain for a forced landing.
