Accident & incident history

2016-02-05 Accident · San Pedro, CA Damage: Substantial Fatal injury NTSB · WPR16FA065A
Reported aircraft: Beechcraft M35 — a different aircraft that carried the N9872R registration before this airframe.
Probable cause: The failure of the pilots of both airplanes to see and avoid each other as they converged nearly head-on, which resulted in a midair collision. Contributing to the accident was the effect of sun glare on the other pilot.
