Safety record

Accident & incident history

1995-03-19 Accident · Ann Arbor, MI Damage: Substantial Minor injury NTSB · CHI95LA104
Reported aircraft: Piper PA-28-181
Probable cause: the failure of the mechanic to close the drain valve after changing oil, resulting in complete loss of engine oil. A factor was the soft terrain, which resulted in the nose wheel digging in and the airplane nosing over.
