Accident & incident history

2004-04-15 Accident · Carthage, TN Damage: Substantial Minor injury NTSB · ATL04CA095
Reported aircraft: Aeronca 7AC
Probable cause: The pilot's failure to maintain visual lookout and clearance while maneuvering resulting in an in-flight collision with wires and subsequent collision with water.
1996-04-16 Accident · Portland, TN Damage: Substantial Minor injury NTSB · MIA96LA119
Reported aircraft: Aeronca 7BCM
Probable cause: Delay by the pilot-in-command to perform a go-around after the airplane bounced three times during the landing attempt. Contributing to the accident was the failure of the pilot to obtain a preflight weather briefing and his poor in-flight planning decision for attempting to land with a wind 10 degrees behind the right wing at 17 knots with gusts to 26 knots.
