Safety record

Accident & incident history

2017-06-21 Accident · Mahnomen, MN Damage: Substantial Serious injury NTSB · CEN17LA238
Reported aircraft: Aeronca 7BCM
Probable cause: The pilot s failure to abort the takeoff after recognizing a partial loss of engine power during the takeoff roll and his subsequent inability to maintain adequate airspeed during a turn to avoid power lines, which resulted in an aerodynamic stall. The reasons for the loss of engine power could not be determined because postaccident examination of the engine revealed no evidence of mechanical malfunctions or failures that would have precluded normal operation.
