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 (1)

- [N12121](https://openairdocs.org/aircraft/N12121): [Main Patrick R](https://openairdocs.org/faa-owner/MAIN%20PATRICK%20R), [Udall, KS](https://openairdocs.org/faa-place/KS/Udall), S/N 09

## 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 CHI98LA015](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/CHI98LA015), Oct 5, 1997: Reed-Madsen Taylor Bird (N12121), Humboldt, IA, substantial damage. Probable cause: the failure of the pilot-in-command to attain airspeed and maintain control of the aircraft, resulting in a stall/mush.

## 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 19971005029959A](https://openairdocs.org/incident/19971005029959A), Oct 5, 1997: N12121, Humboldt, IA, Substantial damage. Right wind dipped on takeoff. Turned right then landed hard in the grass.

## The same model under other registry codes
