## 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 LAX94LA090](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/LAX94LA090), Jan 4, 1994: Bell 206B (N771GM), Coolidge Dam, AZ, destroyed, 1 fatal. Probable cause: the pilot's selection of a cruise altitude insufficient to ensure adequate obstacle clearance and his inadequate visual lookout. A factor in the accident was the inconspicuousness of the power lines.
