Accident & incident history

2013-04-12 Accident · Avon Park, FL Damage: Substantial NTSB · ERA13LA204
Reported aircraft: Harris Pierce Velocity XL RG — a different aircraft that carried the N101ME registration before this airframe.
Probable cause: A total loss of engine power during cruise flight for reasons that could not be determined because postaccident examination and testing did not reveal any mechanical malfunctions or failures that would have precluded normal operation.
