Accident & incident history

1994-04-05 Incident · Ontario, CA Damage: Minor Minor injury NTSB · LAX94IA181
Reported aircraft: Fairchild SA-227AC — a different aircraft that carried the N174SW registration before this airframe.
Probable cause: the failure of maintenance personnel to detect a crack in the windscreen which exceeded the operational limits for pressurized flight. A factor in the accident was the inadequacy of the inspection method published by the manufacturer.
