Safety record

Accident & incident history

2014-07-31 Accident · Talkeetna, AK Damage: Substantial NTSB · ANC14LA058
Reported aircraft: Dehavilland DHC 2
Probable cause: The pilot s inadequate preflight inspection that did not detect that the bulk fuel tank was full and led to an unanticipated heavy airplane weight and his failure to use the entire soft, wet, and muddy airstrip length for takeoff, which resulted in a takeoff overrun.
2002-06-13 Accident · Talkeetna, AK Damage: Substantial NTSB · ANC02LA051
Reported aircraft: de Havilland DHC-2
Probable cause: The pilot's selection of an unsuitable taxi area, which resulted in substantial damage to the left elevator when the tailwheel encountered a hole. A factor associated with the accident was rough/uneven terrain.
