## Other investigations on N1536E (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 NYC96LA112](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/NYC96LA112), May 21, 1996: Aeronca 7EC (N1536E), New Castle, PA, substantial damage. Probable cause: the pilot's failure to maintain directional control during the landing roll, which resulted in a ground swerve and an encounter with high grass and a ditch off the side of the runway.
