## Other investigations on N1818J (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 CEN13CA279](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/CEN13CA279), May 13, 2013: Piper PA-28-140 (N1818J), Meriden, KS, substantial damage. Probable cause: The pilot electing to land at an airport with a runway environment that precluded a go-around with the tailwind weather conditions present which resulted in a runway excursion during the landing.
