## Other investigations on N211R (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 ERA14LA146](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/ERA14LA146), Mar 8, 2014: Cessna 170B (N211R), Mulberry, FL, substantial damage. Probable cause: The failure of the pilot and the parachutist to see and avoid each other, which resulted in the airplane’s wing colliding with the parachute’s suspension lines.
- [NTSB SEA97LA160](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/SEA97LA160), Jul 6, 1997: Cessna 170B (N211R), Jackson, WY, substantial damage. Probable cause: The pilot's inadequate compensation for wind conditions. Gusting wind conditions was a factor.
