## 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 LAX97LA270](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/LAX97LA270), Aug 1, 1997: Consolidated-Vultee PBY-5A(28-5ACF) (N322FA), Moreno, CA, destroyed. Probable cause: the implosion of the unlocked left nose gear door which resulted in the hydraulic disintegration of the forward fuselage. The cause of the locking pin actuator malfunction was not determined.
