## Other investigations on N7013K (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 WPR10LA268](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/WPR10LA268), May 31, 2010: Piper PA-20 (N7013K), Nelson, CA, substantial damage. Probable cause: The pilot's loss of aircraft control during an undetermined phase of flight, which resulted in an aerodynamic stall/spin and subsequent collision with terrain.
