## Other investigations on N1907Y (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 DEN04FA134](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/DEN04FA134), Sep 6, 2004: Mooney M20D (N1907Y), Pagosa Springs, CO, destroyed, 1 fatal. Probable cause: the pilot's inadequate preflight planning and his failure to maintain directional control. Contributing factors were the pilot's failure to abort the takeoff, and the rough and uneven runway surface.
