Accident & enforcement record
Events that happened, regardless of the operator's own reporting. Each links to its public source.
NTSB accidents & incidents
Operated by Big Q Aviation (per NTSB report)
The pilot's failure to maintain directional control after encountering a wind gust during the landing roll, which resulted in a ground loop.
Operated by BIG Q AVIATION (per NTSB report)
The flight instructor's inability to move the control stick after takeoff for undetermined reasons, which resulted in an exceedance of the airplane's critical angle of attack and inadvertent aerodynamic stall. The reason for the inability to move the control stick could not be determined, because postaccident examination revealed no evidence of flight control malfunctions or anomalies that would have precluded normal operation.
Operated by BIG Q AVIATION (per NTSB report)
The flight instructor’s incapacitation due to preexisting but unrecognized coronary disease, and the student pilot’s distraction and inability to recover the airplane from a stall/spin at low altitude.
