## Other investigations on N2388Q (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 LAX05LA159](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/LAX05LA159), May 7, 2005: Beech 23 (N2388Q), Tucson, AZ, substantial damage. Probable cause: a loss of engine power due to the fatigue fracture and separation of the mixture control cable. The fatigue crack resulted from inadequate installation techniques by unknown maintenance personnel.
