Safety record

Accident & incident history

2010-02-06 Accident · Boulder, CO Fatal injury NTSB · CEN10FA115C
Reported aircraft: Schweizer SGS 2-32
Probable cause: The failure of both pilots to see and avoid the other resulting in a midair collision. Contributing to the accident was the lack of perceived visual relative motion of the Piper and the Cirrus to the pilot of each airplane, the terrain background, and the overcast weather conditions making it difficult for either pilot to visually acquire the other aircraft.
