Accident & incident history

2023-04-01 Accident · Wall Township, NJ Damage: Substantial NTSB · ERA23LA176
Reported aircraft: Cessna 750

2014-11-26 Accident · Hilton Head Island, SC Damage: Substantial NTSB · ERA15CA065
Reported aircraft: Socata TB 20 Trinidad — a different aircraft that carried the N85AV registration before this airframe.
