## Other investigations on N8448S (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 GAA19CA259](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/GAA19CA259), May 13, 2019: Cessna 182 (N8448S), Crossett, AR, substantial damage. Probable cause: The pilot's failure to maintain the runway centerline and his subsequent failure to maintain directional control during the landing roll, which resulted in a runway excursion and subsequent nose-over.
