## Other investigations on N9699B (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 WPR15LA191](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/WPR15LA191), Jun 19, 2015: Cessna 180A (N9699B), Polson, MT, substantial damage. Probable cause: A total loss of engine power during approach for reasons that could not be determined because postaccident examination revealed no anomalies that would have precluded normal operation.
