Safety record

Accident & incident history

1999-09-20 Accident · Big Bear City, CA Damage: Substantial NTSB · LAX99LA314
Reported aircraft: Cessna 177A — a different aircraft that carried the N39AE registration before this airframe.
Probable cause: A loss of engine power due to fuel system contamination, which resulted from the mechanic's failure to fully inspect and verify the serviceability of the fuel system before returning the aircraft to service for a maintenance ferry flight. The pilot's decision to attempt flight with unresolved discrepancies in the reliability of the engine to produce power was a factor in the accident.
