## Other investigations on N6072R (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 FTW03LA030](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/FTW03LA030), Nov 1, 2002: Cessna 172G (N6072R), Fort Stockton, TX, substantial damage. Probable cause: The pilot's decision to conduct VFR flight into IMC and his failure to maintain terrain clearance. Contributing factors were the dark night, clouds, fog, and the lack of suitable terrain.
