- [NTSB ATL92LA095](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/ATL92LA095), May 5, 1992: Cessna 180B (N5127E), Jacksonville, NC, substantial damage. Probable cause: THE PILOT'S FAILURE TO ENSURE AN ADEQUATE SUPPLY OF FUEL FOR THE PLANNED FLIGHT; WHICH RESULTED IN FUEL EXHAUSTION. A FACTOR WAS THE HIGH VEGETATION IN THE FORCED LANDING FIELD.
