Safety record

Accident & incident history

2021-05-12 Accident · Englewood, CO Damage: Substantial NTSB · CEN21FA215A
Reported aircraft: Swearingen SA226TC
Probable cause: The Cirrus pilot s failure to maintain the final approach course for the assigned runway, which resulted in a collision with the Swearingen which was on final approach to the parallel runway. Contributing to the accident was the failure of the controller to issue a traffic advisory to the Swearingen pilot regarding the location of Cirrus, and the Cirrus pilot s decision to fly higher than recommended approach speed which resulted in a larger turn radius and contributed to his overshoot of the final approach course.
