## NTSB investigations (2)

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 LAX96LA111](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/LAX96LA111), Jan 29, 1996: Bell 47G-2A1 (N6569H), Honiara, Solomon Islands, destroyed, 1 fatal. Probable cause: the pilot and the ship crew's failure to assure the tie down strap was removed prior to liftoff.
- [NTSB LAX95LA138](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/LAX95LA138), Mar 17, 1995: Bell 47 (N6569H), Harmon Field, substantial damage. Probable cause: an engine failure due to oil exhaustion from a missing oil pressure relief valve as the result of an improper maintenance inspection.

## FAA accident and incident reports (2)
