## 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 CHI93LA208](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/CHI93LA208), Jun 15, 1993: Hughes 269 (N213MS), Valley City, ND, substantial damage. Probable cause: the pilot-in-command's failure to maintain clearance from a tree during an aerial application manuever.

## FAA accident and incident reports (2)

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.
