## Other investigations on N62382 (3)

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 WPR18FA155](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/WPR18FA155), May 30, 2018: North American SNJ 2 (N62382), Melville, NY, destroyed, 1 fatal. Probable cause: The pilot's exceedance of the airplane's critical angle of attack, which resulted in an aerodynamic stall, spin, and subsequent impact with terrain.
