Safety record

Accident & incident history

2010-12-13 Incident · Columbus, OH NTSB · CEN11IA108

Reported aircraft: Piaggio P180 — a different aircraft that carried the N140SL registration before this airframe.

Probable cause: The failure of water to properly drain through the fuselage drain holes, thus becoming trapped and freezing around the flight control cables, which resulted in the loss of control authority to the airplane's ailerons, elevator, and rudder.
