## Other investigations on N5697P (3)

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 DFW07CA034](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/DFW07CA034), Dec 3, 2006: Piper PA-24-250 (N5697P), Jacksboro, TX, substantial damage. Probable cause: The pilot's improper fuel calculations, which resulted in a loss of engine power due to fuel exhaustion. A factor was the unsuitable terrain encountered during the emergency landing.
