Accident & incident history

1995-08-26 Accident · Rio Vista, CA Damage: Substantial Serious injury NTSB · LAX95LA306
Reported aircraft: Short Lancair 320 — a different aircraft that carried the N3204S registration before this airframe.
Probable cause: the failure of the wing flap actuator pushrod creating an asymmetrical flap condition during the landing flare maneuver. A contributing factor was the failure of the owner/builder to incorporate a manufacturer's design change for a stronger actuator pushrod.
