NTSB investigators may not have traveled in support of this investigation and used data provided by various sources to prepare this aircraft accident report.
On December 12, 2015, about 1200 eastern standard time, a DeHavilland Tiger Moth DH-82A, N9410, operated by a private individual, was substantially damaged during a forced landing, after it experienced a partial loss of engine power shortly after takeoff from Old Orchard Airpark (2NK9), Modena, New York. The commercial pilot and a passenger were not injured. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed and no flight plan had been filed for the local personal flight that was conducted under the provisions of 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91.
According to a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) inspector, the pilot reported that the airplane began to experience a gradual loss of engine power during the initial climb, shortly after takeoff. The pilot was not able to maintain altitude and attempted to return to 2NK9; however, the airplane subsequently impacted and came to rest in trees, about 1/4 mile from the airport. The airplane sustained substantial damage to both wings, the empennage, and the fuselage.
The airplane was manufactured in 1940 and equipped with a DeHavilland Gipsy Major 1C, 130-horsepower engine. Examination of the airplane by an FAA inspector was pending recovery from the accident site.
A weather observation taken at an airport that was located about 11 miles east-southeast of 2NK9, about the time of the accident, included a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius (C), and a dew point of 5 degrees C.
