## 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 WPR25FA002](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/WPR25FA002), Oct 3, 2024: Taylor J-2 (N19252), Roseburg, OR, substantial damage, 1 fatal, investigation ongoing
- [NTSB ERA14LA308](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/ERA14LA308), Jun 20, 2014: Taylor J-2 (N16667), Lock Haven, PA, substantial damage. Probable cause: The airplane owner’s failure to clean and lubricate the engine valve guides and stems, which resulted in a partial loss of engine power during the initial climb due to an exhaust valve failure.
- [NTSB LAX96FA095](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/LAX96FA095), Jan 13, 1996: Piper J2 (N17261), Lancaster, CA, destroyed, 1 fatal. Probable cause: failure of the pilot to maintain adequate airspeed, while maneuvering from crosswind to downwind after takeoff, which resulted in an inadvertent stall/spin and collision with terrain.
