## The NTSB's investigation of this event (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 ANC96LA067](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/ANC96LA067), May 1, 1996: Cessna 170 (N1828C), Dillingham, AK, substantial damage. Probable cause: rotation (slippage) of the tire on the rim, and shearing of the valve stem, which allowed the rim to contact the ground and then separate.
