## NTSB investigations on N53118 (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 CHI01LA072](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/CHI01LA072), Jan 21, 2001: Cessna 172P (N53118), Prairie Du Sac, WI, substantial damage. Probable cause: the improper trim setting and the pilot failed to maintain control of the airplane. A factor was the snowbank.
