## 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 GAA15CA200](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/GAA15CA200), Jul 23, 2015: Robinson Helicopter R-22 (N520NS), Corona, CA, substantial damage. Probable cause: The flight instructor's delayed remedial action to arrest the descent rate, which resulted in a running landing, the left skid catching rough terrain, and the main rotor blades impacting the ground.
