## Other investigations on N85713 (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 BFO95LA040](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/BFO95LA040), Apr 1, 1995: Aeronca 7AC (N85713), Lakewood, NJ, substantial damage. Probable cause: The pilot's inadequate compensation for wind conditions and his inadequate evaluation of the weather conditions which resulted in an overrun. A factor is the sudden windshift.
