## NTSB investigations (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 CEN25LA038](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/CEN25LA038), Nov 11, 2024: Composite FX Mosquito XE (N869DJ), Waco, TX, substantial damage. Probable cause: The total loss of engine power and subsequent impact with terrain during an autorotation. Contributing to the accident was the improper sealing of the liquid cooling system.

## FAA accident and incident reports (1)
