Safety record

Accident & incident history

2000-07-16 Accident · Immokalee, FL Damage: Substantial Serious injury NTSB · MIA00LA218
Reported aircraft: Piper PA-24-250
Probable cause: The inadequate supervision of the pilot rated student by the CFI for her failure to note that the fuel selector was positioned to an empty fuel tank. Also, failure of the CFI to attain the proper rate of descent at touchdown resulting in a hard landing. Contributing to the accident was the total loss of engine power due to fuel starvation, and inadequate preflight planning preparation by the CFI for her failure to review the airplane systems with the pilot rated student. Also, inattention by the pilot rated student for his failure to reposition the fuel selector during the flight.
1999-09-08 Accident · Naples, FL Damage: Substantial NTSB · MIA99LA265
Reported aircraft: Piper PA-24-250
Probable cause: The pilot's failure to perform manual gear extension procedures with a suspected unsafe landing gear indication which resulted in a collapse of the main landing gear on landing rollout. A factor in the accident was the pilot's lack of total experience in kind of aircraft.
