## Other investigations on N1829K (2)

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 CHI95LA275](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/CHI95LA275), Aug 6, 1995: Luscombe 8E (N1829K), Lowell, IN, substantial damage. Probable cause: a loss of engine power due to carburetor ice. The lack of suitable terrain for a forced landing was a factor.
