## Other investigations on N126RA (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 LAX01LA140](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/LAX01LA140), Apr 6, 2001: Cessna 210B (N126RA), Camp Verde, AZ, substantial damage. Probable cause: The throttle linkage disconnection resulting in the engine producing idle power. A factor was the lack of suitable terrain for a forced landing.
