## Other investigations on N7565F (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 CHI94FA282](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/CHI94FA282), Aug 13, 1994: Champion 7KCAB (N7565F), Humphrey, NE, destroyed, 2 fatal. Probable cause: the pilot's failure to maintain control of the airplane. A factor associated with the accident is the pilot's buzzing of the passenger's brother-in-law's house.
