Safety record

Accident & incident history

1996-09-30 Accident · Cumberland, MD Damage: Substantial Serious injury NTSB · IAD96LA155
Reported aircraft: Merritt Acro Sport II
Probable cause: The pilot's failure to select the electric fuel boost pump during take off which resulted in loss of engine power due to fuel starvation and the subsequent forced landing. A factor to this accident was the owner/builder alteration of the fuel system by installing electric fuel pump instead of a engine driven pump as depicted in the airplane's schematics.
