Safety history
- November 23, 2025AccidentHull loss
After take-off, there was an undetermined issue that resulted in the engine failing in flight. During the forced landing, impact forces as a result of the aircraft's rate of descent collapsed the landing gear, buckled the wing/fuselage structure and caused one or both wing fuel tanks to be breached, which intensified the post-impact fire.
