## 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 LAX95LA067](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/LAX95LA067), Dec 31, 1994: Harris BD-10 (N9WZ), Gardnerville, NV, destroyed, 1 fatal. Probable cause: the in-flight overload failure of the left vertical stabilizer spars, at force levels substantially below the predicted ultimate failure loads, due to inadequate substantiation by the designer.

## 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.
