## 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 LAX97LA133](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/LAX97LA133), Mar 27, 1997: Enstrom F-28C (N294SB), Sacaton, AZ, substantial damage. Probable cause: the pilot's improper use of the collective by not maintaining rotor rpm during takeoff from a confined area.
