## 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 ATL02LA027](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/ATL02LA027), Dec 29, 2001: Flugzeugbau DG-200 (N5457T), Benton, TN, substantial damage. Probable cause: The pilot's inadvertent encounter with a downdraft while maneuvering in a ridge lift during a turn resulting in an in-flight collision with trees.
