## 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 IAD05CA015](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/IAD05CA015), Nov 18, 2004: Socata TB 21-TC (N55510), Binghamton, NY, substantial damage. Probable cause: The pilot's improper IFR procedure by his flight below the decision altitude, and his failure to maintain obstacle clearance.
- [NTSB MIA97LA126](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/MIA97LA126), Mar 21, 1997: Socata TB-21C (N55510), Hollywood, FL, substantial damage. Probable cause: continued flight by the pilot into adverse weather conditions, and the pilot allowing the aircraft to exceed its design stress limits.
