The FAA's own accident and incident reports, matched to the aircraft by N-number and date (OpenAirDocs).

- [Accident 19770527013979A](https://openairdocs.org/incident/19770527013979A), May 27, 1977: Cessna 180H, Morgan City, LA. Pax properly briefed. Deplaned carelessly.

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.
