Accidents and incidentsedit
On August 23, 1987 a Piper PA-23-160 registered N4003P with three on-board crashed on takeoff killing all those aboard. The pilot and owner of the aircraft Karl Kovacs was taking two others on a scenic flight of the Susquehanna Valley. However the aircraft was overweight and in low ceilings and fog, Kovacs struggled to gain altitude and was in a high pitch angle and stalled at approximately 750 feet. The cause was determined to be pilot error and gross overload of the Piper.[4][5]
On October 4, 2013 a Piper PA-22 crashed on the runway during an attempted takeoff. Two people were seriously injured, National Transportation Safety Board and the Federal Aviation Administration investigated stating the cause was the "pilots failure to perform pre-flight check elevator trim would have shown the aircraft wasn't airworthy."[6]
