## NTSB investigations (3)

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 MIA93FA121](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/MIA93FA121), May 16, 1993: Bell 47-G (N970B), Parker, FL, destroyed, 2 fatal. Probable cause: the misjudgement of the distance by the nonrated pilot-in-command and subsequent collision with a tree. Contributing to the accident was the lack of helicopter experience of the pilot-in-command.
