## Other investigations on N6726G (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 CHI99LA250](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/CHI99LA250), Jul 23, 1999: Cessna 150L (N6726G), Udall, KS, substantial damage. Probable cause: the failure of maintenance personnel to properly safety the aileron control cable during installation, the disconnected aileron control cable, and the unavailability of aileron control to the pilot.
