From the FAA registry file of October 24, 2026. ADs below are matched by the registry's airframe and engine model codes. They may apply; each AD's applicability can narrow it by serial number, part number or installed equipment. This is not a compliance determination. The registry lists only the engine series, so ADs for every Austro E4 model are included.

## NTSB investigations

None matched to N408SA.

## NTSB investigations on N408SA not matched to an aircraft (2)

From the NTSB's public API. Aircraft are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported serial number, make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.

- [NTSB MKC81FA018](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/MKC81FA018), Feb 13, 1981: Beech 99 (N408SA), Grand Island, NE, substantial damage

## FAA accident and incident reports

None matched to N408SA.

## Reports on N408SA not matched to an aircraft (2)

They name N408SA, but no registry record covers the date, the aircraft registered then was built later, or the report describes another aircraft.

- [Accident 19810213005749A](https://openairdocs.org/incident/19810213005749A), Feb 13, 1981: Beech 99 (N408SA), Grand Island, NE, Substantial damage. Right gear unsafe indication for landing. Collapsed on landing roll. Found taper pins fell out of gear drive shaft.

## Service difficulty reports (1)

As reported by operators and repair stations. Matched to this aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported serial number, make and model.

- [SDR 2026FA0000427](https://openairdocs.org/sdr/2026FA0000427), Dec 12, 2025: ATTACH FITTING. DEBONDED. ON ROLL OUT AFTER LANDING THE LH LANDING GEAR RETRACTED UNCOMMANDED CAUSING A PROPELLER STRIKE AND LH WING TIP TO TOUCH GROUND. UPON INVESTIGATION IT WAS DISCOV
