## NTSB investigations (1)

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 WPR18LA206](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/WPR18LA206), Jul 24, 2018: Bell UH 1H (N107CH), Oakdale, CA, substantial damage. Probable cause: The pilot's loss of control during a precautionary landing following an abnormal noise in-flight, the source of which could not be determined.

## FAA accident and incident reports (1)

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.
