Safety record

Accident & incident history

2006-01-27 Accident · Pontiac, MI Damage: Destroyed Fatal injury NTSB · CHI06LA073
Reported aircraft: Bellanca 7ECA — a different aircraft that carried the N55CW registration before this airframe.
Probable cause: The excessive bank angle executed by the flight crew and their failure to maintain airspeed during the turn, which led to the inadvertent stall and subsequent impact with the ground. A factor was the low altitude.
