## 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 CEN14CA252](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/CEN14CA252), May 25, 2014: Aerospatiale AS 365 N2 Dauphin (N365WM), Constantine, MI, substantial damage.
