## 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 FTW96FA130](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/FTW96FA130), Feb 24, 1996: Cessna 170A (N9523A), Proctor, AR, destroyed, 4 fatal. Probable cause: failure of the pilots in both airplanes to see-and-avoid conflicting traffic (inadequate visual lookout).

## 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.
