Model codes come from the FAA registry's reference file. ADs are matched to them by model name and maker.

## ADs that may apply (OpenAirDocs)

Matched to this model by model name and maker. Each AD's applicability may narrow it by serial number, part number or equipment.

None matched.

## Registered aircraft

None registered with this model now.

## NTSB investigations (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 FTW01LA093](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/FTW01LA093), Apr 5, 2001: Empson F4UCorsair (N914DA), Baton Rouge, LA, substantial damage. Probable cause: the pilot's inadequate preflight planning resulting in fuel exhaustion during approach. A contributing factor was the lack of suitable terrain for the forced landing.

## FAA accident and incident reports (1)

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.

- [Accident 20010405008149A](https://openairdocs.org/incident/20010405008149A), Apr 5, 2001: N914DA, Baton Rouge, LA, No damage. (-23)Pilot cleared for right base to runway 22R at btr. Engine failed. Investigation yielded fuel exhaustion.
