## Other investigations on N7852P (2)

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 DEN05LA019](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/DEN05LA019), Nov 2, 2004: Piper PA-24-250 (N7852P), Ogden, UT, substantial damage. Probable cause: the loss of engine power due to carburetor icing. Contributing factors include the weather conditions conducive for carburetor icing, and a lack of suitable terrain for a forced landing.
