In 2002, CAMTS concluded that Eagle intentionally misrepresented the number of incidents and accidents it reported to CAMTS on what are known as Program Information Forms (PIFs).

These included that:

  •  Eagle’s airplane N47744 hit a horse on a runway on Jan. 29, 1998. The incident was not reported.
  •  The nose gear of Eagle’s airplane N6935C collapsed on landing on Aug. 13, 1998. The accident was reported to the National Transportation Safety Board but not to CAMTS.
  •  Eagle’s airplane N5943M suffered a dual engine failure on July 1, 1999. That was reported in the PIF as fuel contamination but found by the NTSB to be the result of the pilot failing to check to make sure there was enough fuel in the tanks.
  •  The nose gear of Eagle’s airplane N2655B collapsed on landing on Aug. 13, 1998. The incident was not reported.
  •  Eagle’s plane N911EA landed with its gear up in July 2000 and again in September 2000. Neither of the crashes were reported to CAMTS.
  •  Eagle’s airplane N4119M’s engine failed in flight as a result of a maintenance issue. This was noted to be an incident by the FAA but was not reported to CAMTS.
  •  In April 2001 Eagle’s airplane N344ND had a propeller strike on landing. The incident wasn’t reported.
  •  On March 13, 2002, while CAMTS site surveyors were visiting Eagle facilities, Eagle’s airplane N4119M had engine failure and was diverted. Not only was the incident not reported but kept from the site surveyors.
  •  In August 2002 Eagle’s airplane N1083S had a propeller strike on landing.
