## NTSB investigations (3)

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 DEN08LA158](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/DEN08LA158), Sep 21, 2008: Cameron Balloons US N-77 (N4003P), Plano, TX, minor damage. Probable cause: The pilot's improper fuel management, resulting in fuel exhaustion and the subsequent hard landing.
- [NTSB FTW01LA213](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/FTW01LA213), Sep 29, 2001: Cameron Balloon N-77 (N60206), McKinney, TX, no damage. Probable cause: the pilot's failure to maintain clearance with the fence while landing. A contributing factor was the high wind condition.
- [NTSB LAX97LA169](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/LAX97LA169), Apr 27, 1997: Cameron N-77 (N16067), Temecula, CA, destroyed. Probable cause: The pilot's misjudgment of his speed and altitude, which led to a landing overshoot.

## FAA accident and incident reports (6)
