Accident & incident history

2017-10-02 Accident · Tonopah, NV Damage: Substantial NTSB · WPR18LA002
Reported aircraft: Cessna 172S
Probable cause: The pilot's failure to enrich the mixture during the descent, as required by the Pilot's Operating Handbook (POH), and his subsequent failure to follow the POH emergency procedures, which resulted in an excessively lean fuel/air mixture and subsequent loss of rpm. Contributing to the accident was the pilot's improper decision to land on unsuitable terrain despite the availability of two nearby airports.
1969-11-23 Accident · Madison,Minn, 23 Damage: Substantial NTSB · 3 4341
Reported aircraft: Piper PA-16 — a different aircraft that carried the N5311H registration before this airframe.
