Safety record

Accident & incident history

2017-08-19 Accident · Madras, OR Damage: Destroyed Fatal injury NTSB · WPR17FA185
Reported aircraft: Rich Wheeler Express CT — a different aircraft that carried the N246TM registration before this airframe.
Probable cause: The pilot's failure to maintain adequate airspeed while maneuvering in the airport traffic pattern for landing, which resulted in an exceedance of the airplane's critical angle of attack, a subsequent aerodynamic stall at an altitude too low to recover.
