## 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 ANC95LA164](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/ANC95LA164), Sep 10, 1995: Cessna 180A (N94259), Glennallen, AK, destroyed. Probable cause: The pilot's selection of an unsuitable area for takeoff. The water condition with large waves/swells was a related factor.
