## 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 ATL94GA038](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/ATL94GA038), Jan 16, 1994: Hughes 269C (N8994F), Atlanta, GA, substantial damage. Probable cause: The inadvertent closing of the fuel shutoff valve by the pilot. A factor in the accident was the failure of the pilot to maintain rotor RPM during the autorotation.
