## Other investigations on N3152T (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 WPR11LA463](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/WPR11LA463), Sep 23, 2011: Cessna 177 (N3152T), Rock Springs, WY, substantial damage. Probable cause: The pilot did not lean the fuel mixture prior to takeoff, which resulted in the engine's inability to attain sufficient power due to the rich mixture, and his inadequate preflight planning.
