Safety record

Accident & incident history

1999-10-12 Accident · Opa Locka, FL Damage: Substantial NTSB · MIA00LA004
Reported aircraft: Fairchild SA227-AC — a different aircraft that carried the N438MA registration before this airframe.
Probable cause: The improper flare by the co-pilot, and the failure of the captain to take remedial action by applying power to arrest the observed high rate of descent resulting in a hard landing. A finding in the accident was the inadequate maintenance adjustment of the right engine controls which diminished directional control capability while on the runway following the hard landing.
