## Other investigations on N2233Y (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 DFW06CA051](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/DFW06CA051), Jan 10, 2006: Cessna 177 (N2233Y), Antlers, OK, substantial damage. Probable cause: The loss of engine power due to fuel exhaustion as result of the pilot's inadequate preflight planning. A contributing factor was the encounter with windshear during the forced landing.
