## Other investigations on N2970J (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 NYC96LA042](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/NYC96LA042), Dec 23, 1995: Cessna 150G (N2970J), East Hampton, NY, substantial damage. Probable cause: failure of the flight instructor to adequately supervise the dual student pilot and ensure that directional control of the airplane was maintained. The icy runway was a related factor.
