## 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 DEN07LA132](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/DEN07LA132), Aug 1, 2007: Bell 206B (N568TD), Broomfield, CO, substantial damage. Probable cause: The pilot's failure to maintain control of the helicopter, resulting in an inadvertent dynamic rollover.
