2022 Caravan Crash Spurs Wrongful Death Lawsuit
The Caravan was performing flight tests for Raisbeck Engineering at the time of the accident

A wrongful death and product liability lawsuit has been filed against Textron Aviation, Raisbeck Engineering, and others resulting from the November 18, 2022 crash of a Cessna 208B Caravan EX in Snohomish, Washington.

At the time, the turboprop single operated by Raisbeck was being used to conduct flight testing for the company’s aerodynamic drag reduction system (DRS). Raisbeck has an STC for the system on the Caravan and it was testing to determine its applicability for the Caravan EX. That day’s mission included baseline testing of the airplane’s aft CG stall characteristics.
