On May 27, 2026, about 1130 central daylight time, a Cessna A188B airplane, N84497, sustained substantial damage when it was involved in an accident near Blair, Nebraska. The pilot was not injured. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight.
According to the pilot, he flew the airplane from Millard Airport (MLE) in Omaha, Nebraska, to Blair Executive Airport (BTA) in Blair, Nebraska. When he landed the airplane at BTA, he was not satisfied with the landing, so he increased power after the airplane touched down on the runway to take off again. He reported that the airplane’s engine had a reduction in power shortly after takeoff, and he landed the airplane in an adjacent field. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the left wing.
A postaccident examination revealed that the throttle cable was disconnected from the throttle body. A review of the airplane maintenance logbooks revealed that the throttle body was recently serviced. The airplane was recovered from the accident site, and it was transported to a secure location for future examination.
