## 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 MIA96LA210](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/MIA96LA210), Aug 11, 1996: Bell 47G-4A (N9472G), Adel, GA, destroyed, 1 fatal. Probable cause: the pilot's misjudgment of clearance between the helicopter and the antenna. A factor relating to the accident was the pilot's use of a drug (medication) that had sedative effects.
