## NTSB investigations (2)

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 CHI91FA212](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/CHI91FA212), Jul 7, 1991: Slingsby Kestrel 19 (N1954E), Hinckley, IL, destroyed. Probable cause: THE FAILURE OF BOTH PILOTS TO MAINTAIN ADEQUATE VISUAL LOOKOUT AND ENSURE ADEQUATE SEPARATION DURING TRAFFIC PATTERN OPERATIONS. A RELATED FACTOR IS THE NON-STANDARD UNCONTROLLED AIRPORT PROCEDURES…
