## NTSB investigations (4)

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 WPR21LA225](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/WPR21LA225), May 28, 2021: Lindstrand Balloons 90A (N1535G), Dayton, NV, no damage. Probable cause: The pilot’s failure to maintain control of the balloon due to an unexpected high surface wind and downdraft, which resulted in a hard landing.
