## 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 ERA25LA296](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/ERA25LA296), Aug 10, 2025: Maule MX-7-180A (N1052T), Muskeget Island, MA, substantial damage. Probable cause: The pilot’s failure to obtain a proper touchdown point while attempting to land on a very short and rough turf runway, which resulted in a runway overrun and collision with vegetation and terrain.
- [NTSB GAA20CA041](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/GAA20CA041), Oct 21, 2019: Maule MX7 (N1052T), Nantucket, MA, substantial damage. Probable cause: The pilot's failure to maintain directional control during landing on a grass runway in gusting wind conditions, which resulted in impact with a large bush.
- [NTSB CEN11CA021](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/CEN11CA021), Oct 15, 2010: Maule MXT-7-180A (N125HS), Almyra, AR, substantial damage. Probable cause: The pilot’s improper touchdown point and delayed decision to execute a go-around, which resulted in a runway overrun and collision with terrain.
- [NTSB CEN11LA005](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/CEN11LA005), Oct 2, 2010: Maule MXT-7-180A (N152HS), Magnolia, AR, substantial damage. Probable cause: The mechanic's failure to properly install an oil drain line after he replaced a cylinder, which caused the engine to seize in flight due to a lack of lubrication.
- [NTSB MIA01LA056](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/MIA01LA056), Jan 7, 2001: Maule MXT-7-180A (N40030), Perry, FL, substantial damage. Probable cause: The loss of control on landing due to the student's improper recovery from a bounced landing, and the resulting nose over on the grass runway.
