Safety record

Accident & incident history

1999-09-04 Accident · Cedar Key, FL Damage: Substantial NTSB · MIA99FA246
Reported aircraft: Diamond DA20-A1 — a different aircraft that carried the N196DA registration before this airframe.
Probable cause: The pilot's failure to follow the checklist (turn Fuel Valve-On, and activate electric fuel boost pump) and the pilot's decision to continue flight with a known unairworthy condition (illumination of low fuel pressure warning light on takeoff roll) with sufficient runway remaining to abort the takeoff. This resulted in a subsequent loss of engine power on initial takeoff climb, forced landing, and in-flight collision with trees and terrain.
