## FAA reports on this event (1)

The FAA's own accident and incident reports, matched to the aircraft by N-number and date (OpenAirDocs).

- [Accident 19800319006639A](https://openairdocs.org/incident/19800319006639A), Mar 19, 1980: Piper PA22150, Register, GA, Substantial damage. Engine lost power on takeoff. Smoky exhaust. Flipped over in cornfield. Carb heat on. Rag in air intake.

## Other investigations on N6174D (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 ANC05LA044](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/ANC05LA044), Feb 27, 2005: Piper PA-22 (N6174D), Anchorage, AK, substantial damage. Probable cause: The pilot's excessive taxi speed during a turn while taxiing from landing, which resulted in the collapse of the left main landing gear, and structural damage to the fuselage.
- [NTSB ANC94LA061](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/ANC94LA061), May 28, 1994: Piper PA-20 (N6174D), Anchorage, AK, substantial damage. Probable cause: THE FAILURE OF AN EXHAUST VALVE. THE LACK OF SUITABLE TERRAIN FOR A FORCED LANDING WAS A FACTOR.
