## 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 LAX97LA110](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/LAX97LA110), Feb 24, 1997: Bell 206B (N42SS), Mountain Spring, NV, destroyed. Probable cause: the pilot's poor weather evaluation and the decision to continue to attempt to land during forecast adverse weather conditions.

## FAA accident and incident reports (1)

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.
