Safety record

Accident & incident history

2014-05-31 Accident · Suffolk, VA Damage: Substantial Minor injury NTSB · ERA14LA272
Reported aircraft: Landrum Kelly T Vans RV6
Probable cause: The pilot/builder's decision to use a lubricant that was not designed for high-speed aviation applications, which resulted in the failure of the propeller needle thrust bearing due to the loss of lubrication from overheating, a total loss of aerodynamic thrust, and a subsequent forced landing.
2007-10-02 Accident · Halifax, VA Damage: Substantial NTSB · DFW08CA006
Reported aircraft: Vans Aircraft RV6
Probable cause: The pilot's inadvertent stall during a forced landing. A contributing factor was the pilot's failure to place the electronic prop controller in the manual mode prior to aborting the landing which resulted in a loss of engine power.
2002-04-30 Accident · Racine, WI Damage: Substantial Minor injury NTSB · CHI02LA118
Reported aircraft: Cessna 120 — a different aircraft that carried the N6RP registration before this airframe.
Probable cause: The inadequate weather evaluation and delayed application of carburetor heat by the pilot, and the unsuitable terrain encountered during the forced landing. The carburetor icing conditions and the low altitude were factors.
