## Other investigations on N6936B (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 ERA18FA232](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/ERA18FA232), Aug 25, 2018: Piper PA22 (N6936B), Island Pond, VT, substantial damage, 1 fatal. Probable cause: The pilot's exceedance of the airplane's critical angle of attack while maneuvering for landing, which resulted in an aerodynamic stall.
- [NTSB GAA17CA392](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/GAA17CA392), Jul 5, 2017: Piper PA22 (N6936B), Berlin, NH, substantial damage. Probable cause: The pilot’s failure to maintain directional control during the landing roll.
