Safety record

Accident & incident history

2005-07-26 Accident · Georgetown, DE Damage: Substantial Fatal injury NTSB · IAD05FA110
Reported aircraft: Piper PA-28-181 — a different aircraft that carried the N59RK registration before this airframe.
Probable cause: The pilot's misjudged distance/altitude while on final approach to land, which resulted in an in-flight collision with a vehicle. Factors associated with the accident are the pilot's improper use of the flaps, and the state of Delaware's insufficient standards for private airports, which allowed the runway threshold to be in close proximity to a public road.
