## 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 GAA17CA130](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/GAA17CA130), Jan 31, 2017: Robinson Helicopter R22 (N883KC), Armstrong, TX, substantial damage. Probable cause: The pilot’s failure to remove the left helicopter skid tie-down before takeoff, which resulted in dynamic roll-over.
