## Other investigations on N4477U (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 MIA08LA204](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/MIA08LA204), Sep 28, 2008: Cessna 150 (N4477U), Falmouth, KY, substantial damage. Probable cause: A loss of engine power for reasons that could not be determined because postaccident examination of the airframe and engine did not reveal any anomalies that would have precluded normal operation.
