ADs below are matched by the registry's airframe and engine model codes. They may apply; each AD's applicability can narrow it by serial number, part number or installed equipment. This is not a compliance determination. The registry lists only the engine series, so ADs for every Aeronca E113 model are included. ## ADs that may apply (OpenAirDocs): 0 in force ### Matched by airframe (Aeronca C-3) None in force. ### Matched by engine (Aeronca E113 series) None in force. ## Information bulletins (advisory) None matched. ## NTSB investigations None matched to N16549. ## NTSB investigations on N16549 not matched to an aircraft (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 IAD73FLJ22](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/IAD73FLJ22-169918), Mar 25, 1973: Piper PA-28 (N16549), Whitsett, NC, substantial damage ## FAA accident and incident reports None matched to N16549. ## Reports on N16549 not matched to an aircraft (1) They name N16549, but no registry record covers the date, the aircraft registered then was built later, or the report describes another aircraft. - [Accident 19730325005419A](https://openairdocs.org/incident/19730325005419A), Mar 25, 1973: Piper PA28R200 (N16549), Whitsett, NC, Substantial damage.
