## Other investigations on N2836E (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 SEA96FA185](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/SEA96FA185), Aug 11, 1996: Aeronca 7CCM (N2836E), Marsing, ID, substantial damage, 2 fatal. Probable cause: loss of engine power for undetermined reason(s), and failure of the pilot to maintain adequate airspeed, while maneuvering for a forced landing, which resulted in a stall and collision with terrain.
