## NTSB investigations (617, newest 50)

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 CEN24LA208](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/CEN24LA208), Jun 1, 2024: Piper PA-38-112 (N9715T), Dalhart, TX, substantial damage. Probable cause: The pilot’s improper decision to take off with the airplane over its maximum allowable gross weight at a high density altitude, which degraded its climb performance and led an off airport landing.
- [NTSB CEN23LA362](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/CEN23LA362), Aug 10, 2023: Piper PA-38-112 (N2351A), Harvard, IL, substantial damage. Probable cause: The pilot’s failure to maintain directional control during takeoff that resulted in a runway excursion and an impact with the cornfield.
