## Other investigations on N3301J (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 ERA22LA321](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/ERA22LA321), Jul 15, 2022: Cessna 150G (N3301J), Tuscaloosa, AL, substantial damage. Probable cause: The student pilot’s inadvertent use of the fuel mixture knob instead of the carburetor heat knob, which resulted in fuel starvation and a subsequent loss of engine power.
