Accident & incident history

2020-01-25 Accident · Summerland Key, FL Damage: Substantial NTSB · ERA20LA089
Reported aircraft: Beechcraft A36
Probable cause: The pilot's failure to remove the flight control gust lock before takeoff, which resulted in an inability to rotate, aborted takeoff, and subsequent runway overrun.
