Accident & incident history

2012-05-31 Accident · Macon, MS Damage: Substantial Fatal injury NTSB · ERA12FA376
Reported aircraft: Hawker A36 — a different aircraft that carried the N976S registration before this airframe.
Probable cause: The pilot's decision to continue flight into an area of known thunderstorms, which resulted in an in-flight breakup. Contributing to the accident was the pilot's lack of experience in actual instrument meteorological conditions and his reliance on datalink weather radar imagery for tactical avoidance of convective weather.
