## 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 CHI96LA232](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/CHI96LA232), Jul 10, 1996: Cessna 188 (N9542J), Independence, IA, substantial damage. Probable cause: the delayed jettison of the dry chemicals by the pilot. The inability of the airplane to climb was a related factor.

## 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.
