## Other investigations on N9597R (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 CHI94LA127](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/CHI94LA127), Apr 4, 1994: Beech 35 (N9597R), Anderson, IN, substantial damage. Probable cause: the pilot's failure to maintain directional control during the landing roll. A factor related to the accident was the rough terrain encountered following the loss of control.
