NTSB investigations: Continental IO-550-N

7 cases on aircraft whose registry engine model is Continental IO-550-N, where the defining event was Aerodynamic stall/spin. Aircraft are matched to the registry by N-number and event date, checked against the reported serial number, make and model, so older matches can be wrong.
