Safety record

Accident & incident history

2015-07-26 Accident · Colbert, OK Damage: Substantial Fatal injury NTSB · CEN15FA316
Reported aircraft: Beechcraft V35B — a different aircraft that carried the N252G registration before this airframe.
Probable cause: The pilot's failure to properly position the fuel selector, which resulted in a total loss of engine power due to fuel starvation. Contributing to the severity of the accident was the pilot's failure to select an appropriate location for a forced landing, which resulted in the airplane impacting trees. Contributing to the accident was the air traffic controller's failure to provide the pilot accurate information on nearby emergency airport and airfields and the pilot's failure to properly follow the airplane's emergency procedures in the Pilot's Operating Handbook that would have led him to properly position the fuel selector and restore fuel flow to the engine.
1993-10-31 Accident · Blue Ash, OH Damage: Destroyed Fatal injury NTSB · NYC94FA025
Reported aircraft: Mooney M20K — a different aircraft that carried the N252G registration before this airframe.
Probable cause: The pilot's inadequate inflight decision to conduct flight into known icing conditions and his failure to maintain adequate airspeed which resulted in an inadvertent stall. Factors were icing conditions and the pilot's failure to follow the preflight briefing advisory.
