Experimental Lancair IV-P Propjet crash at Aero Country Airport: pressurization issues lead to runway overrun

Share

A Charles Hayes experimentally built Lancair IV-P Propjet (registered N751HP) sustained substantial damage when it was involved in an accident at Aero Country Airport (T31), McKinney, Texas, United States. The two occupants onboard the aircraft and one person inside a car sustained minor injuries.

Preliminary information indicates the aircraft experienced pressurization problems shortly after reaching FL250. A rapid descent was conducted, and the airplane continued towards its destination. One go-around was conducted before the airplane landed on runway 17. It overran the runway, and struck an occupied moving car on the road.

Working for 25 years in the aviation industry, I changed my career and became a firefighter/EMT in 2021. I like to spend my free time with my two sons, girlfriend, family and friends. I love to travel, wine and dine and support my favourite football squad KV Mechelen. Once an Ironman 70.3 finisher and dreaming of completing a full distance.
