Safety record

Accident & incident history

1998-12-01 Accident · Fort Gains, GA Damage: Substantial NTSB · MIA99LA041
Reported aircraft: Grumman-Schweizer G-164B — a different aircraft that carried the N6630Q registration before this airframe.
Probable cause: a power loss due to internal damage to the second- and third- stage turbine rotor blades, due to thermal heat, rendering the engine incapable of producing full power, resulting in a forced landing, and subsequent impact with the terrain.
