## NTSB investigations on N4008D (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 LAX97LA260](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/LAX97LA260), Jul 25, 1997: Robinson R22 Beta (N4008D), Chandler, AZ, destroyed. Probable cause: The CFI's failure to recognize and correct for a vortex ring state, and his improper use of the flight controls, which resulted in the loss of control and uncontrolled descent.
