## 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 MIA07CA151](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/MIA07CA151), Sep 12, 2007: Schleicher ASW-24E (N24WR), Morganton, NC, substantial damage. Probable cause: The failure of the pilot to maintain airspeed while turning base to final resulting in the left wing contacting the ground.
- [NTSB SEA03LA157](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/SEA03LA157), Jul 28, 2003: Schleicher ASW-24E (N24YB), Hood River, OR, substantial damage, 1 fatal. Probable cause: The pilot's failure to refuel prior to the flight, resulting in fuel exhaustion during the initial climb, followed by the pilot's failure to maintain airspeed. An inadvertent stall was a factor.
- [NTSB FTW02LA057](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/FTW02LA057), Dec 16, 2001: Schleicher ASW-24E (N134EK), El Paso, TX, destroyed. Probable cause: the pilot's failure to maintain minimum airspeed for flight, resulting in an inadvertent stall while maneuvering. A contributing factor was the failure of the tow rope.
