## Information bulletins (advisory)

None matched.

## NTSB investigations

None matched to N1320.

## NTSB investigations on N1320 not matched to an aircraft (2)

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 LAX83FUG05](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/LAX83FUG05), Oct 21, 1982: E.L. Craig Craigcraft (N1320), Chino, CA, substantial damage
