Safety record

Accident & incident history

2014-06-21 Accident · St. Joesph, IL Damage: Substantial NTSB · CEN14LA309

Reported aircraft: Schumacher Challenger II

Probable cause: The total loss of engine power due to a lack of lubrication following the in-flight failure of the mechanical oil injection pump. Contributing to the accident was the temporary obscuration of the pilot's forward visibility due to sun glare during the forced landing, which resulted in a collision with power lines.

1997-01-02 Accident · Lakeland, FL Damage: Destroyed Minor injury NTSB · MIA97LA056

Reported aircraft: Cessna 441 — a different aircraft that carried the N441MS registration before this airframe.

Probable cause: Failure of the electronic engine control, which caused an overtorque condition in the right engine that made directional control of the airplane not possible by the pilot when the power to the left engine was retarded to idle during the takeoff roll.
