Safety record

Accident & incident history

2006-07-15 Accident · Turner, MT Damage: Substantial NTSB · SEA06CA144
Reported aircraft: Piper PA-11
Probable cause: The passenger's inadvertent activation of the airplane's brakes during the landing roll, resulting in the pilot's loss of control and subsequent nose over. A factor was the pilot's inadequate preflight planning/preparation by not briefing the passenger about the brake peddle position, and the importance of not interfering with the operation of the brakes.
