## Other investigations on N9486S (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 FTW02LA261](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/FTW02LA261), Sep 21, 2002: Beech V35 (N9486S), Del Rio, TX, substantial damage. Probable cause: The loss of engine power due to the low-pressure pump separating internally. Contributing factors were the deterioration of the fuel pump and the lack of suitable terrain for the forced landing.
