## The NTSB's investigation of this event (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 CHI07CA130](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/CHI07CA130), Apr 3, 2007: Boeing E75N1 (N3840K), Fostoria, OH, substantial damage. Probable cause: The pilot's inadequate compensation for wind conditions and his subsequent failure to maintain directional control during landing. The crosswind and wind gusts were contributing factors.
