## 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 CEN18LA351](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/CEN18LA351), Aug 26, 2018: Cessna P210 (N4842K), Delaware, OH, substantial damage. Probable cause: The pilot's inadequate fuel management, which resulted in a total loss of engine power due to fuel starvation.
