## NTSB investigations (5)

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 GAA17CA404](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/GAA17CA404), Jul 11, 2017: Eurocopter AS 350 (N357PJ), King Vale, CA, substantial damage. Probable cause: The pilot’s failure to maintain clearance from trees while landing in a dusty, unimproved landing zone.
