## 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 DEN04LA017](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/DEN04LA017), Nov 1, 2003: Cessna 172R (N9864F), Cloudcroft, NM, destroyed. Probable cause: the dual student's failure to maintain clearance from the terrain. Also causal was the flight instructor's inadequate supervision. Low altitude flight and rising terrain are contributing factors.
