## FAA reports on this event (1)

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

- [Accident 19810429020389A](https://openairdocs.org/incident/19810429020389A), Apr 29, 1981: Scwzer G164B, Coy, AR, Substantial damage. Aircraft flipped inverted during landing on Private strip. Runway was soft, causing gear to sink in.

## Other investigations on N8148K (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 LAX08LA083](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/LAX08LA083), Mar 22, 2008: Gulfstream-Schweizer G-164B (N8148K), Genesee, ID, substantial damage. Probable cause: The in-flight failure of the rudder attachment point due to severe corrosion, which made directional control of the airplane not possible during landing.
