Safety record

Accident & incident history

2003-08-27 Accident · Bend, OR Damage: Destroyed NTSB · SEA03LA180
Reported aircraft: Lancair LC41 — a different aircraft that carried the N166PD registration before this airframe.
Probable cause: The inadequate design of the drogue chute mechanical jettison system, which resulted in its failure to separate from the aircraft during in-flight spin recovery tests, and the incorrectly wired drogue chute cable cutter activation unit, which resulted in the inability of the pilot to activate the backup chute separation system after any failure of the primary system.
