## 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 SEA95LA069](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/SEA95LA069), Mar 18, 1995: Scheibe Flugzeugbau Bergfalke II-55 (N5924), Bozeman, MT, substantial damage. Probable cause: THE PILOT MISJUDGED HIS ALTITUDE AND DISTANCE FROM THE RUNWAY. A FACTOR WAS THE PILOT'S FAILURE TO OBTAIN THE CURRENT ALTIMETER SETTING.
