THE WINDS WERE 210 DEGREES AT 15 KNOTS, GUSTING TO 20 KNOTS. THE TEMPERATURE WAS 20 DEGREES CELSIUS AND THE DEW POINT WAS 4 DEGREES. THE BAROMETRIC PRESSURE WAS 30.02 INCHES OF MERCURY.

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. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
