NTSB accidents & incidents
11 records, spanning 1988–2018.
Operated by Bureau of Land Management (per NTSB report)
The pilot’s premature liftoff and subsequent settling of the airplane to the gravel airstrip.
Operated by Bureau of Land Management (per NTSB report)
The pilot’s failure to maintain clearance from a wire while maneuvering during low-altitude operations. Contributing to the accident was task- and/or work-related fatigue.
Operated by Bureau of Land Management (per NTSB report)
The pilot's inadequate remedial action when ground resonance was encountered during landing. Contributing factors were the rough/uneven terrain and company inadequate maintenance.
Operated by Bureau of Land Management (per NTSB report)
the pilot's failure to adequately plan for the wind direction and speed during a fire retardant delivery flight, which led to a loss of true airspeed, failure to attain a proper climb rate, and the in-flight collision with mountainous terrain. Contributing factors were the high, gusty, tailwind conditions.
Operated by Bureau of Land Management (per NTSB report)
The pilot's misjudged distance/altitude during the landing touchdown and subsequent undershoot, and his failure to maintain directional control of the airplane during the landing roll, which resulted in an on-ground encounter with high vegetation.
Operated by BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT (per NTSB report)
The pilot's inadequate compensation for a crosswing during the landing roll. A factor contribuiting to the accident was the presence of a crosswind.
Operated by Bureau of Land Management (per NTSB report)
the pilot's failure to follow proper procedures/directives, and the airplane's inability to climb while maneuvering after takeoff. Factors contributing to the accident were improperly mixed aerial application materials (fire retardant slurry), the high aircraft weight and balance, and the pilot's diverted attention.
Operated by Bureau of Land Management (per NTSB report)
Fatigue failure of the nose wheel steering cable during the landing roll. Rough/uneven terrain was a factor.
Operated by BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT (per NTSB report)
The passenger not following the instructions given by the pilot. Contributing factors were the rising terrain and the pilot's diverted attention during the toe in landing.
Operated by BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT (per NTSB report)
the pilot's failure to maintain adequate ground clearance altitude while performing a low-level aerobatic maneuver. A factor in the accident was the pilot's lack of experience in the aircraft.

Maintenance disclosure history
No maintenance difficulty reports on file. Note: SDR filing is largely voluntary, so absence is not evidence of a clean maintenance history.
