## Other investigations on N714PW (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 WPR24LA248](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/WPR24LA248), Jul 15, 2024: Cessna 150M (N714PW), Ritzville, WA, substantial damage. Probable cause: Maintenance personnel’s improper installation of the No. 2 cylinder exhaust valve, which allowed the valve to drop into the cylinder and resulted in a total loss of engine power.
