NM list PING!

(The NM list is available on my FR homepage for anyone to use. Let me know if you wish to be added or removed from the list.)

A Cessna T310, N310RH, is registered to Rod Aviation in Granbury Tx. The current certificate of registration was issued on 3/10/10.

This particular aircraft, N310RH, has no accident history but there are a couple of interesting items:

-It was built in 1980 but was not registered in the US until 1996. The owner at that time was a doctor in Ohio. It was transferred to Rod Aviation in March of this year.

-The 310 is certified for 6 occupants rather than the 7 who were reportedly on board at the time of the crash. This could mean an overload or it might merely be an inaccurate report in the immediate aftermath.

I am going to guess this was a departure and NOT a landing. Sounds like an overloaded plane unable to takeoff to me. 7 passengers, luggage and a full tank of gas equals a no-go on a C310.
