## Other investigations on N3590R (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 LAX06FA055](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/LAX06FA055), Dec 12, 2005: Beech A23 (N3590R), Mammoth Lakes, CA, destroyed, 2 fatal. Probable cause: a loss of engine power for undetermined reasons, and, the failure of the pilot to maintain an adequate airspeed while maneuvering following the loss of power, which resulted in a stall/spin.
