A total loss of engine power as a result of fuel starvation due to contamination from a thermoplastic polymer used in the fuel system. Contributing to…A total loss of engine power as a result of fuel starvation due to contamination from a thermoplastic polymer used in the fuel system. Contributing to the accident was the pilot’s failure to report debris observed in the fuel system during previous preflight inspections to maintenance personnel. |
| Jun 16, 2020 | Maricopa, AZ | N117KP | Incident | substantial | The pilot's failure to extend the airplane’s retractable landing gear before landing. |
| Jun 03, 2020 | Wevelgem, BE | N6951Y | Incident | — | Investigation pending |

Contributing to the accident was a modified before landing checklist which omitted the fuel pump switch position. |
| May 15, 2020 | Burlington, WI | N1JA | Fatal (1) | substantial | The pilot did not maintain a safe altitude during the visual approach, and subsequently lost control which resulted an impact with trees and terrain. |
| Dec 21, 2019 | Gainesville, FL | N6300W | Minor | substantial | The airplane's impact by a bird during the initial climb. |
| Dec 19, 2019 | Moruya, AS | N210BA | Serious (1) | substantial | Investigation pending |
| Aug 01, 2019 | Novato, CA | N234SB | Incident | substantial | The pilots’ improper landing flare, which resulted in a hard landing and collapse of the nose landing gear. |
| May 17, 2019 | Yankeetown, FL | N4861P | Minor | substantial | A loss of engine power for reasons that could not be determined based on the available evidence. |
| Apr 02, 2019 | Solunska glava (LBSF), MK | D-EUIB | Fatal (4) | destroyed | Investigation pending |
| Dec 08, 2018 | Myerstown, PA | N731LT | Serious (1) | substantial | A total loss of engine power due to fuel starvation. |

Also causal was t…The stuck turbocharger wastegate in the closed position for reasons that could not be determined based on the available information. Also causal was the pilot's failure to reduce the throttle during takeoff when the manifold pressure and fuel flow exceeded the takeoff limitations and the pilot's decision to turn on the fuel boost pump, which exacerbated the excessively rich fuel mixture and resulted in a total loss of engine power. |
| Aug 30, 2018 | Prescott, AZ | N6500W | Fatal (1) | destroyed |
The pilot's misjudgment of distance and altitude from the runway and his subsequent failure to maintain an approach path that provided clearance from …The pilot's misjudgment of distance and altitude from the runway and his subsequent failure to maintain an approach path that provided clearance from the terrain due to a visual illusion in dark night conditions. |
