## Other investigations on N9462X (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 LAX01FA194](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/LAX01FA194), May 28, 2001: Cessna 210A (N9462X), Escondido, CA, destroyed, 3 fatal. Probable cause: the pilot's spatial disorientation and lack of instrument flight proficiency that resulted in a loss of directional control and the airplane's subsequent in-flight collision with the ground.
