On December 18, 2019, about 0900 mountain standard time, a Cessna 525A, C-GOJG, experienced a separation of the right engine lower cowling during cruise at flight level 250 near Scottsbluff, Nebraska. The cowling struck the upper engine cowling and damaged the outer third of the right horizontal stabilizer resulting in substantial damage. The airline transport pilot and four passengers were uninjured. The airplane was registered to and operated by CGHGR Holdings Ltd as a non-U.S., non-commercial, flight that was operating on an instrument flight rules flight plan. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time of the accident. The flight originated from Casper/Natrona County International Airport, Casper, Wyoming, about 0830, and was destined to Western Nebraska Regional Airport/William B. Heilig Field, Scottsbluff, Nebraska, where it landed without further incident.

Post-accident examination of the airplane revealed that three consecutive fasteners located at the forward inboard corner of the right engine cowling were missing. The receptacles associated with these fasteners did not display tearing/fractures. The remaining fasteners were in place and retained cowling material beneath the fastener heads.

The cowling and missing fasteners have not been recovered.
