Accidents and incidents
- On June 26, 2015, a Europa XS crashed after departure from the Tri-City Airport. The probable cause of the accident was found to be the pilot’s incapacitation in flight due to a cardiovascular event.[3]
- On January 22, 2017, a Cessna 182 crashed while landing at the Tri-City Airport. After touching down short of the runway, the pilot performed a go-around and elected to land on turf parallel to the paved runway. After touching down on the turf, the airplane nosed over. The probable cause of the accident was found to be the pilot’s failure to maintain the proper glidepath during landing, which resulted in the airplane landing short of the runway, the nose landing gear separating, and the airplane nosing over during a second landing.[4]
- On October 16, 2020, a Piper Cherokee crashed due to engine issues while on approach to the Tri-City Airport.[5][6]
