NTSB accident and incident record under N697Q

CEN12FA534Accident on August 11, 2012 at Taylorville, IL: fatal, substantial damage (1 fatal).

Aircraft on the NTSB record: Beech G18 - S · serial BA-468

The pilot's failure to maintain adequate airspeed and use the appropriate flaps setting during sport-parachuting operations, which resulted in an aerodynamic stall/spin and a subsequent loss of control. Contributing to the accident was the pilot’s failure to follow company guidance by allowing more than four passengers in the door area during exit, which shifted the airplane’s center of gravity aft.
