Safety record

Accident & incident history

2019-08-09 Accident · Galt, CA Damage: Minor Serious injury NTSB · WPR19LA228
Reported aircraft: Head AX9-118
Probable cause: A loss of control following an adverse wind encounter.
2004-09-27 Accident · Kingman, KS Damage: Substantial Serious injury NTSB · CHI04LA280
Reported aircraft: Cessna T210L — a different aircraft that carried the N2027S registration before this airframe.
Probable cause: The lack of engine oil due to the mechanic's improper maintenance in not securing the loose "B" nut for the oil pressure line to the turbocharger leading to the loss of engine power while maneuvering. An additional cause was the unsuitable terrain the pilot encountered during the forced landing. A factor was the terrace the nose wheel impacted and subsequently nosed over.
