## Other investigations on N6427P (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 ERA18FA200](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/ERA18FA200), Jul 27, 2018: Piper PA24 (N6427P), Palatka, FL, destroyed, 2 fatal. Probable cause: The pilot's exceedance of the airplane's critical angle of attack during the initial climb after takeoff, which resulted in an aerodynamic stall and a loss of control.
