## 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 CHI94LA138](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/CHI94LA138), Apr 21, 1994: Schweizer 269C (N3623Y), Fargo, ND, substantial damage. Probable cause: the pilot in command's improper autorotation technique. A factor associated with the accident is the FAA Inspector's delayed remedial action.
