Accident & incident history

2000-07-18 Accident · Chesapeake, VA Damage: Substantial NTSB · IAD00LA063
Reported aircraft: Beechcraft BE-55 (T42A) — a different aircraft that carried the N26DS registration before this airframe.
Probable cause: the pilot's misjudgment of his altitude/clearance above the runway during the aborted takeoff which resulted in an improper flare for landing. A factor in the accident was the pilot's premature rotation during the takeoff roll.
