Today's question comes to us via Sean in Oregon. He explained to us that he was flying for personal use, not commercial purposes, although he does have a 333. While flying for fun, his unique q500 4K had an error message come up on the screen saying something regarding a motor error and to land immediately. Before he could get the aircraft directed back, it went down in the water. Therefore, his question...is this something that needs to be reported to the FAA? Great question, Sean. We really appreciate you thinking of us, and hope we can help you out. Stay tuned, and fly safe!
