Accident & incident history

2004-12-08 Accident · Meadview, AZ Damage: Destroyed Fatal injury NTSB · LAX05FA046
Reported aircraft: Cessna T207A — a different aircraft that carried the N1783U registration before this airframe.
Probable cause: a loss of control due to the in-flight separation of the right elevator and elevator trim tab control surfaces. The precipitating reason for the elevator separation could not be resolved as related to the tab foam core issue with the available evidence.
