airplane”. On 4/8/2003 aircraft N179GA, a Dassault Falcon 20, ditched into the Mississippi river after running out of fuel. The two pilots were seriously injured and the aircraft was destroyed. The NTSB found: “The pilot in command's improper in-flight decision not to divert to an alternate destination resulting in the exhaustion of the airplane's fuel supply, and his failure to relay his low fuel state to air traffic control in a timely manner”. On 1/14/2004 aircraft N258PE, a Dassault Falcon 20, experienced a brake failure and veered off the right side of the runway during landing rollout. Postflight inspection found the #1 anti-skid generator inoperative. The FAA also found the pilot in command was occupying the right seat when the Company operations manual required the pilot in command occupy the left seat. The manufacturer's representative stated the aircraft design would have allowed the aircraft to remain on the runway with the rudder and the tiller. However, the tiller is only available to the left seat pilot. Although N258PE was registered to and operated by Tri-Coastal at time of incident, it was previously registered to and operated by Grand Aire Express as N174GA. On 11/30/2004 aircraft N604GA, a Hamburger Flugzeugbau HFB 320 Hansa Jet, was destroyed when it crashed into the Missouri River killing the two pilots. The captain of the flight was Tahir Cheema, chief executive officer and president of Grand Aire Express, Inc. The aircraft was being flown under a special maintenance ferry permit from Saint Louis (SUS) to Toledo (TOL). The NTSB found that maintenance performed by Midcoast Aviation (SUS) "failed to properly install and inspect the elevator trim system resulting in the reversed elevator trim condition and the pilot's failure to maintain clearance with the terrain. Contributing factors included the dark night and low ceiling”. On 2/8/2006 N629EK, a Fairchild Swearingen Metroliner, was destroyed when it crashed and the pilot, Abdulgader Zbedah, was killed after he had reported a fuel imbalance. The NTSB determined the probable cause to be: “the pilot's inflight loss of control following a reported fuel asymmetry condition for undetermined reasons.
