## 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 DCA19CA066](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/DCA19CA066), Dec 31, 2018: Boeing 757 (N938UW), Charlotte, NC, substantial damage. Probable cause: an inadvertent loss of airspeed and increased pitch attitude prior to touchdown.
