## Other investigations on N7624E (2)

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 BFO96LA031](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/BFO96LA031), Dec 20, 1995: Bellanca BL14-19-3 (N7624E), Toledo, OH, destroyed. Probable cause: an improper splice of the magneto 'P' lead wires, and the pilot's improper positioning of the throttle and mixture controls while he rotated the propeller by hand.
