## Other investigations on N60276 (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 ERA12LA186](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/ERA12LA186), Feb 17, 2012: Cessna 150J (N60276), Jasper, GA, substantial damage. Probable cause: The pilots' inadequate preflight inspection that failed to detect water-contaminated fuel, which resulted in a total loss of engine power.
