## NTSB investigations (2)

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 DCA17CA197](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/DCA17CA197), Sep 13, 2017: Bombardier CL 600 2B19 (N261PS), Charlotte, NC, substantial damage. Probable cause: the tug operator's initiation of a right turn onto the perpendicular terminal road in proximity to the airplane.
