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)

- [N729U](https://openairdocs.org/aircraft/N729U): [Leffler Richard A](https://openairdocs.org/faa-owner/LEFFLER%20RICHARD%20A), [Prospect, OR](https://openairdocs.org/faa-place/OR/Prospect), built 1992, S/N 729

## 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 WPR23LA243](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/WPR23LA243), Jun 24, 2023: Kitfox 2 (N729U), Cave Junction, OR, substantial damage.

## 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.
