Accident & incident history

2012-04-04 Accident · San Marcos, TX Damage: Substantial NTSB · CEN12LA229
Reported aircraft: Piper PA-34-200T
Probable cause: The pilot's failure to ensure that he was aware of the NOTAM describing the runway closure, which resulted in a landing on the closed runway and subsequent collision with a barrier. Contributing to the accident was the failure of air traffic control personnel to include the runway closure information on the recorded ATIS information, which the pilot had listened to prior to landing.
