Accident & incident history

2005-03-08 Accident · Oxnard, CA Damage: Substantial NTSB · LAX05FA108
Reported aircraft: Cessna 210L — a different aircraft that carried the N2044S registration before this airframe.
Probable cause: A pinhole leak in the fuel pressure line during the takeoff roll that was ignited by an electrical arc associated with wires adjacent to the fuel line. A contributing factor in the accident was the failure of maintenance personnel to comply with a manufacturer's service bulletin that addressed potential damage to the fuel line.
