Analysis

On June 5, 2025, at 1155 central daylight time, a XAG P100 Pro, N231CU, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident near Pontiac, Illinois. The unmanned aerial system (UAS) was operated under Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations as a Part 137 aerial application flight.

The UAS was in a hover about 10 ft above ground level spraying an agricultural field with fertilizer when a propeller blade separated from the UAS. The UAS then descended and impacted the field. The UAS sustained substantial damage to the propeller.

The portion of the propeller that remained attached to the UAS was retained for further examination.
