Safety record

Accident & incident history

1997-05-21 Accident · San Diego, CA Damage: Substantial NTSB · LAX97FA189
Reported aircraft: Embraer EMB-120 — a different aircraft that carried the N198SW registration before this airframe.
Probable cause: The failure of maintenance personnel to allow adequate time for the engine oil to drain back into the engine oil reservoir prior to adding additional oil, thereby overfilling the reservoir, which resulted in an engine fire and subsequent damage to hydraulic lines and components, including the brakes, which precluded stopping the airplane prior to overrunning the runway end. An additional factor was the confusing and insufficiently defined procedures for servicing the engine oil.
