## NTSB investigations (165, newest 50)

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 WPR26LA009](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/WPR26LA009), Oct 7, 2025: Mooney M20C (N6814N), Watsonville, CA, substantial damage. Probable cause: The pilot’s decision to program avionics during taxi, resulting in an inadvertent throttle input and collision with a hangar.
- [NTSB ERA24FA326](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/ERA24FA326), Jul 27, 2024: Schweizer 269C (N61486), West Carthage, NY, substantial damage, 1 fatal, investigation ongoing
