AT ABOUT 1045 ON OCTOBER 24, 2009, THE PILOT WAS HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE THROTTLE AND WAS GOING TO LAND IN A FIELD.  THE PILOT CUT THE POWER AND THE CANOPY PARTIALLY COLLAPSED, CAUSING THE AIRCRAFT TO FALL TO THE GROUND CAUSING INJURY TO THE PILOT.

## 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.
