NTSB accident and incident record under N9278G

CEN20CA331Accident on July 27, 2020 at Hartington, NE: no injuries, substantial damage.

Aircraft on the NTSB record: Cessna A188 · serial 18801444

The pilot's failure to ensure that the engine oil cap was installed before takeoff, which resulted in the oil obscuring the pilot’s view through the windshield and necessitated a forced landing on unsuitable terrain. Contributing to the accident were the pilot’s complacency and self-induced pressure to complete the flight.
