The fatigue failure was due to valv…The total loss of engine power resulting from the fatigue failure of the engine's number 2 cylinder exhaust valve. The fatigue failure was due to valve guide wear that led to excessive clearance between the valve and valve guide. Contributing to the accident was the contract operator’s lack of compliance with its own maintenance procedures, which, if followed, would have prevented the accident. |
| Oct 21, 2009 | Provo, UT | N6869R | Fatal (1) | substantial | A total loss of engine power due to fuel starvation as a result of the pilot’s inadequate preflight inspection. |
| Sep 24, 2009 | Hilltop Lakes, TX | N9734Y | Fatal (1) | destroyed | The loss of control of the airplane in dark night light conditions due to the pilot’s spatial disorientation. |
| Apr 09, 2009 | Edinburg, TX | N127TC | Fatal (1) | destroyed | A loss of engine power for undetermined reasons. Contributing to the accident was the pilot's failure to select a suitable alternate landing site. |
| May 15, 2008 | Ucayali, PE | OB-1203 | Fatal (5) | destroyed | Investigation pending |
