## NTSB investigations (2)

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 LAX05LA283](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/LAX05LA283), Aug 31, 2005: Avions Robin R.2160 (N216RN), Avalon, CA, destroyed, 1 fatal. Probable cause: The flight instructor's unsuccessful recovery from a spin. The underlying reason was not determined.

## FAA accident and incident reports (6)

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.
