## 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 IAD05TA058](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/IAD05TA058), Apr 27, 2005: Hughes 369FF (N5252Y), Quantico, VA, substantial damage. Probable cause: The flight crew's failure to maintain adequate altitude/clearance from a building, which resulted in contact with the building, dynamic rollover, and collision with terrain.
