## Other investigations on N7148M (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 ATL05CA063](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/ATL05CA063), Mar 18, 2005: Cessna 175 (N7148M), Charlotte, NC, substantial damage. Probable cause: The pilot's failure to follow the checklist by his failure to verify the fuel selector was in the on position which resulted in fuel starvation and the loss of engine power.
