NTSB accident and incident record under N540LK

CEN20LA419Accident on September 25, 2020 at San Marcos, TX: serious injuries, destroyed.

Aircraft on the NTSB record: Team Rockets F1 · serial 021

The F1 pilot’s failure to see and avoid the lower altitude Cessna while on final approach for landing. Contributing to the accident were the restrictions to pilot visibility inherent to low- and high-wing airplanes, and both pilots’ failure to recognize the conflict that developed between their airplanes.
