Safety record

Accident & incident history

2008-08-28 Accident · Las Vegas, NV Damage: Substantial Fatal injury NTSB · LAX08FA286
Reported aircraft: Piper PA-31-350 — a different aircraft that carried the N212HB registration before this airframe.
Probable cause: A loss of power in the right engine due to an in-flight fuel-fed fire in the right engine compartment that, while the exact origin could not be determined, was likely related to the right engine-driven fuel pump, its fuel supply line, or fitting. Contributing to the accident was the pilot's failure to adhere to the POH's procedures for responding to the fire and configuring the airplane to reduce aerodynamic drag.
