## 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 LAX96LA060](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/LAX96LA060), Dec 1, 1995: Laister LP-15 (N6LS), Adelanto, CA, destroyed. Probable cause: the pilot's selection of the wrong runway for the prevailing wind conditions, and his failure to maintain an adequate airspeed during the base-to-final turn.
- [NTSB LAX78DUJ62](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/LAX78DUJ62), May 29, 1978: Laister LP-15 (N6LV), Maricopa, AZ, destroyed
- [NTSB OAK75DVW20](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/OAK75DVW20), May 24, 1975: Laister LP-15 (N6LV), Hidden Hills, NV, destroyed

## FAA accident and incident reports (1)

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.

- [Accident 19951201039509A](https://openairdocs.org/incident/19951201039509A), Dec 1, 1995: Laistr LP15 (N6LS), Adelanto, CA, Destroyed. Made downwind turn to base low and slow. Stalled and impacted short of runway. Wind favored opposite runway.

## The same model under other registry codes

Amateur-built copies and renamed makers get their own codes.
