Accident & incident history

2008-11-19 Accident · Green Cove Springs, FL Damage: Substantial Minor injury NTSB · ERA09LA062
Reported aircraft: Cirrus SR20 — a different aircraft that carried the N389CP registration before this airframe.
Probable cause: The fusing of an electrical cable from the No. 2 (standby) alternator with the throttle cable resulting in the flight crew s inability to move the throttle control. Contributing to the accident was the failure of maintenance personnel to detect inadequate clearance and chafing of the Alternator No. 2 output cable against the throttle cable housing during the 100-Hour inspections.
