## 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 IAD96LA108](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/IAD96LA108), Jul 7, 1996: Piper J3C-65 (N87910), Cambridge, MD, substantial damage. Probable cause: the pilot's failure to maintain control of the airplane during landing. The crosswind was a factor.

## 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.
