Safety record

Accident & incident history

1997-03-06 Accident · Hudson, CO Damage: Substantial NTSB · FTW97LA118
Reported aircraft: Ryan Navion A
Probable cause: A total power loss due to fuel starvation as a result of the pilot's inadequate preflight inspection of the airplane and its fuel system. Factors include: the pilot's failure to refuel the airplane, the improper fuel tank selector position that would not allow fuel transfer from the fuselage tank to the wing tanks, and the rough, uneven, and soft terrain on which the forced landing was made.
