Accident & incident history

2006-07-15 Accident · Van Nuys, CA Damage: Substantial NTSB · LAX06FA238
Reported aircraft: Learjet 55 — a different aircraft that carried the N554CL registration before this airframe.
Probable cause: An in-flight fire of undetermined origins.
1998-12-17 Accident · Los Angeles, CA Damage: Substantial NTSB · LAX99FA051
Reported aircraft: Learjet 55B — a different aircraft that carried the N554CL registration before this airframe.
Probable cause: the total loss of electrical power due to the flight crew's failure to complete the engine start checklist, or the electrical power failure checklist, which kept the generators off line and resulted in the complete discharged of both batteries. Also causal to the accident was the captain's failure to perform the emergency landing gear extension checklists, which resulted in a wheels-up landing.
