## 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 DEN00LA171](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/DEN00LA171), Sep 15, 2000: Taylorcraft 20 (N1036G), Moriarty, NM, substantial damage.
