On August 11, 2017, about 1330 eastern daylight time, a Piper PA 31T airplane, N113RC, experienced multiple systems anomalies while en route near Greenwood, Mississippi. The private pilot was not injured. The airplane sustained minor damage. The personal flight was conducted under the provisions of 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed and no Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) flight plan had been filed for the flight. The flight had departed Greenwood-Leflore Airport (GWO), Greenwood, Mississippi, about 1130.
According to initial statements from the pilot, while en route at 6,000 feet the landing gear horn sounded and the pilot was unable to silence the horn. The pilot elected to return to GWO for a precautionary landing, at which time the autopilot engaged. The pilot spent several hours trying to disengage the autopilot including conversations with pilots on the ground and a pilot from Piper Aircraft. Eventually the pilot was able to redirect the airplane to GWO with variable thrust from the engines and he landed the airplane without further incident. The airplane has been retained for an investigation.
Aircraft on takeoff, struck several birds, returned and landed without incident.
