NTSB accidents & incidents
Operated by BI-State Air, Inc (per NTSB report)
The pilot’s failure to establish and maintain the airstrip centerline during takeoff, which resulted in the airplane’s right wingtips contacting the corn that bordered the airstrip.
Operated by BI-STATE AIR INC (per NTSB report)
The pilot’s exceedance of the airplane’s critical angle of attack and failure to maintain adequate airspeed while maneuvering during an agricultural flight, which resulted in an aerodynamic stall and a loss of control at too low of an altitude to recover. Contributing to the accident was the pilot’s excessive flap extension during the turn.
