Safety record

Accident & incident history

2002-03-06 Accident · San Jose, CA Damage: Destroyed Fatal injury NTSB · LAX02FA101
Reported aircraft: Cessna 425
Probable cause: the pilot's loss of control and resulting exceedence of the design stress limits of the aircraft, which led to an in-flight structural failure. The pilot's loss of control was due in part to the loss of primary airspeed reference resulting from pitot tube icing, which was caused by the internal failure of the pitot heat switch. Factors in the accident were the pilot's distraction caused by the airspeed reading anomaly and spatial disorientation.
