## Other investigations on N8961X (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 LAX06CA244](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/LAX06CA244), Jul 25, 2006: Cessna 182D (N8961X), Santa Clarita, CA, substantial damage. Probable cause: A loss of engine power due to fuel exhaustion. The fuel exhaustion was the result of a split O-ring on the right fuel cap, which allowed fuel to siphon out of the right fuel tank during flight.
