## 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 WPR10LA313](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/WPR10LA313), Jun 24, 2010: De Havilland DHC-1 (N6540C), Port Orchard, WA, substantial damage. Probable cause: A loss of engine power during initial climb due to water contamination in the fuel.
- [NTSB CHI95LA288](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/CHI95LA288), Aug 19, 1995: de Havilland DHC-1 (N320WM), Hammond, WI, destroyed.
