Accident & incident history

2022-07-17 Accident · North Las Vegas, NV Damage: Destroyed Fatal injury NTSB · ERA22FA318A
Reported aircraft: Piper PA-46-350P
Probable cause: The low-wing airplane pilot s failure to ensure that the airplane was aligned with the correct runway, which resulted in a collision with the high-wing airplane on final approach. Contributing to the accident was the controller s failure to provide timely and adequate traffic information to either airplane and his failure to recognize the developing conflict and to act in a timely manner. Also contributing was the Federal Aviation Administration s insufficient staffing of the facility, which required excessive overtime that did not allow for proper controller training or adequate recovery time between shifts.
