## 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 DCA08FA062](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/DCA08FA062), May 19, 2008: Mcdonnell Douglas DC10 (N720AX), Pacific Ocean, no damage. Probable cause: An inadvertent in-flight encounter with unforecasted clear air turbulence
