## Other investigations on N4523V (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 ATL97LA027](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/ATL97LA027), Nov 27, 1996: Beech 35 (N4523V), Lafayette, GA, substantial damage. Probable cause: failure of maintenance personnel to balance the ruddervator assemblies after they had been reskinned and painted, which resulted in flutter and subsequent damage to the empennage.
