## Other investigations on N1011M (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 CEN20LA078](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/CEN20LA078), Feb 9, 2020: Navion Navion (N1011M), Fort Smith, AR, substantial damage. Probable cause: The inadequate inspection of the fuel selector valve, which was degraded, allowed fuel to leak, and resulted in fuel starvation and a loss of engine power.
