## Other investigations on N6249R (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 FTW02LA174](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/FTW02LA174), Jun 7, 2002: Cessna 150 (N6249R), Fort Worth, TX, substantial damage. Probable cause: the partial loss of engine power due to the mixture control rod separating from the carburetor. A contributing factor was the lack of suitable terrain for the forced landing.
