## 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.

Probable cause: The proper glidepath not attained, the excessive airspeed, and the pilot failed to attain clearance from the trees during the aborted landing. An additional factor was the trees.
