Safety record

Accident & incident history

2024-06-11 Accident · Valdosta, GA Damage: Substantial Serious injury NTSB · ERA24LA258
Reported aircraft: Clapp Saberwing
Probable cause: The total loss of engine power due to the shearing of the woodruff key that indexed the crankshaft gear and hub assembly to the crankshaft, which resulted in the gear and hub rotating from their indexed position and caused the crankshaft-to-camshaft timing to become misaligned.
