## 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 LAX96LA342](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/LAX96LA342), Sep 21, 1996: Bell 206B (N909CM), Van Nuys, CA, substantial damage. Probable cause: the pilot's improper in-flight planning/decision to turn right instead of left.

## FAA accident and incident reports (2)
