## 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 ANC16LA062](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/ANC16LA062), Sep 9, 2016: Dehavilland DHC-2 (N91AK), Kodiak, AK, substantial damage. Probable cause: The pilot's failure to maintain adequate airspeed during the initial climb and turn after takeoff, which resulted in an exceedance of the airplane's critical angle of attack and an aerodynamic stall.
