## Other investigations on N9430J (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 CEN11CA678](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/CEN11CA678), Sep 6, 2011: Piper PA-28-180 (N9430J), Buena Vista, CO, substantial damage. Probable cause: The airplane’s diminished climb performance due to the pilot not leaning the engine mixture enough prior to takeoff in high density altitude conditions and at nearly maximum gross takeoff weight.
