Safety record

Accident & incident history

2016-12-27 Accident · Willows, CA Damage: Substantial NTSB · WPR17LA042
Reported aircraft: Air Tractor AT 602
Probable cause: The decision of the maintenance facility mechanic to conduct maintenance without reference to the applicable manufacturer s guidance, which resulted in the improper reassembly and subsequent failure of the engine compressor bleed valve, which in turn prevented the engine from responding to further power demand at a critical phase of flight. Contributing to the accident was the failure of the maintenance facility s director of maintenance to ensure that the overhaul was conducted properly and that the required post-maintenance test procedures were accomplished.
