## Other investigations on N4516V (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 MIA04LA097](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/MIA04LA097), Jun 14, 2004: Gulfstream American AA5B (N4516V), Crystal River, FL, substantial damage. Probable cause: The failure of the number three cylinder exhaust valve which resulted in the partial loss of engine power. The pilot's misjudgment of speed and distance resulted in an overrun of the runway.
