## Other investigations on N4823 (4)

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 CEN09LA324](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/CEN09LA324), May 30, 2009: Bell 47G (N4823), Kyle, TX, substantial damage. Probable cause: The ground crewmember's failure to assure that the fuel nozzle was closed before pressurizing the line. Contributing to the accident was the lack of an available fire extinguisher.
