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 LAX95LA067](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/LAX95LA067), Dec 31, 1994: Harris BD-10 (N9WZ), Gardnerville, NV, destroyed, 1 fatal. Probable cause: the in-flight overload failure of the left vertical stabilizer spars, at force levels substantially below the predicted ultimate failure loads, due to inadequate substantiation by the designer.

## 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 19941230043409A](https://openairdocs.org/incident/19941230043409A), Dec 30, 1994: Amtr BD10 (N9WZ), Minden, NV, Destroyed, 1 fatal. Pitched up and broke up on high speed test run. Lost empannage at 380 knots airspeed. Wings failed in overload.
