Safety record

Accident & incident history

2012-10-11 Accident · Chuckey, TN Damage: Substantial Serious injury NTSB · ERA13FA017
Reported aircraft: Arion LIGHTNING — a different aircraft that carried the N290AL registration before this airframe.
Probable cause: The pilot s inadequate preflight planning, which resulted in an attempted takeoff at a high gross weight, near the limit of its aft center of gravity, and with the airplane incorrectly configured with fully extended flaps. Contributing to the accident was the lack of a pretakeoff checklist and the pilot s lack of total flight experience in make and model.
