Safety record

Accident & incident history

1997-03-06 Accident · Mabie, WV Damage: Destroyed Fatal injury NTSB · NYC97FA057
Reported aircraft: Beechcraft E-18S — a different aircraft that carried the N54BT registration before this airframe.
Probable cause: The pilot's disregard of the preflight weather briefing for severe weather along his route of flight, and his departure into the known and forecasted severe weather. A factor in the accident was the inadequate FAA oversight of the operator, which fostered an attitude of rule bending.
