Location: Everett, WA
Accident Number: GAA18CA519
Date & Time: 07/21/2018, 1855 PDT
Registration: N45586
Aircraft: Cessna 150
Aircraft Damage: Substantial
Defining Event: Loss of engine power (total)
Injuries: 1 None
Flight Conducted Under: Part 91: General Aviation - Personal 

The pilot reported that, during final approach, the engine sputtered then had a total loss of power. The airplane landed short of the runway on the threshold, and the nose landing gear collapsed.

The airplane sustained substantial damage to the engine truss and mount.

A postaccident examination by a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) airworthiness inspection did not show any evidence of preimpact mechanical malfunction or abnormalities. A photograph provided by the inspector, shows no damage to the propeller, which is consistent with the engine not producing power at the time of impact. He added that fuel was present in the tanks and that the gascolator screen was found clear of debris, and he suspected carburetor ice was responsible for the loss of engine power.

The automated weather observation station located on the airport reported that, about the time of the accident, the wind was 310° at 7 knots, 7 statute miles, temperature 72°F, dew point 48°F. The airplane landed on runway 34R.

According to the Carburetor Icing Probability Chart (refer to docket) and based on the temperature and dew point about the time of the accident, the conditions were favorable for serious carburetor icing at decent power setting.

After multiple attempts, the pilot did not submit the National Transportation Safety Board Pilot/Operator Aircraft Accident/Incident Report Form 6120.1.

A pilot walked away without injury after reporting engine problems and making a hard landing short of the small runway at Paine Field in Everett Saturday evening. Scott North with Paine Field passed along what they know so far.

No one was injured Saturday when a small plane landed hard at the shorter of two runways at Paine Field.

The 6:49 p.m. mishap involved a Cessna 150M owned by a flying business at the Snohomish County airport. The pilot, the sole occupant, reported engine trouble.

Runway 34R-16L, which is on the airport’s east side, was closed while the damaged plane was removed.

The Paine Field Fire Department and airport operations crews responded to the scene.

Editor’s note: This is not the same runway described in our earlier story today regarding a resurfacing project that will need a re-do.

Sikorsky UH-60M Black Hawk, NA-706: Fatal accident occurred February 05, 2018 in Lanyu, Taiwan

NTSB Identification: ANC18WA023
14 CFR Part 129: Foreign National Airborne Service Corps. Taiwan
Accident occurred Monday, February 05, 2018 in Lanyu, Taiwan
Aircraft: SIKORSKY UH-60M (S-70), registration: NA706
Injuries: 6 Fatal.

The foreign authority was the source of this information.

On February 05, 2018, about 2352 local time, a Sikorsky UH-60M helicopter, NA-706, operated by National Airborne Service Corps. of the Ministry of Interior, Taiwan R.O.C., went missing and is presumed to have crashed in open ocean waters shortly after departure from the Lanyu Airport (RCLY), located on Orchid Island, Taitung, Taiwan. Of the six occupants on board, the three crew members and three passengers, remain missing, and the helicopter is presumed to have been destroyed.

Salvaging the wreckage of a UH-60M Blackhawk helicopter that crashed last month while transporting a patient from Orchid Island (Lanyu) could take two to three months, Aviation Safety Council Chairman Hwung Hwung-hweng told lawmakers yesterday.

Hwung was at a meeting of the legislature’s Transportation Committee to brief it about the council’s plans for this year, but Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) Legislator Cheng Pao-ching brought up the effort to salvage the National Airborne Service Corp helicopter.

The helicopter disappeared on Feb. 5 after taking off from Lanyu Airport on Orchid Island with six people aboard: three crew, an emergency medical technician, the patient and a family member of the patient. Their bodies have not been found.

Hwung said the council has detected wreckage in the sea and the Ministry of the Interior, which overseas the corp, has hired a contractor to salvage it.

The salvage operation could take two to three months, he said.

The wreckage was located 1,000m below sea level and special equipment is needed for such a recovery operation.

“It would be difficult to twist and maneuver the cables to retrieve the wreckage under such great pressure,” Hwung said, adding that Japan and Singapore have the technology needed to salvage wreckages on the high seas.

It is not clear whether Taiwanese operators could manage such an operation, Hwung said.

DPP Legislator Lin Chun-hsien said that the government should acquire the capacity to conduct high seas salvage operations.

As Taiwan is surrounded by sea, aircraft are more likely to crash on the water than land, he said.

Cheng also suggested the government move Lanyu Airport from the northwestern half of the island to the east.

Aircraft departing the airport often need to deal with wind shear, he said.

The airport is also not equipped with auxiliary facilities to enhance nighttime visibility, Cheng said.

The Civil Aeronautics Administration needs to address such safety risks, Cheng said.

Aeronca 65-CA Super Chief, N31391: Incident occurred July 21, 2018 at North Central State Airport (KSFZ), Smithfield, Providence County, Rhode Island

SMITHFIELD, Rhode Island  — A pilot was forced to make a hard landing at the North Central Airport in Smithfield.

The incident happened around 11 a.m. Saturday at the airfield on Jenckes Hill Road.

NBC 10 News spoke with another pilot who saw the entire thing unfold.

"I was in the traffic pattern landing at North Central,” said Jon Pascua, an EMS/firefighter in Coventry.

And that's when Pascua noticed the plane in front of him flying extremely low.

"We have a set allotment of 1,000 feet in a traffic pattern we should be following when we descend and we get close to the runway but he was just like over the trees,” said Pascua. “I knew something wasn't right with him and probably a few seconds later we noticed he's totally turned the wrong way—the runway's facing this way and his plane is perpendicular to the runway and he actually bounced a couple times and it took his landing gear off, smashed his prop.”

Pascua said his instincts kicked in.

"I called and let everybody know the runway's closed, a plane crashed, that I'm going to shift runways to a different runway so I can get on the ground and as soon as I got the plane on the ground I went over and checked on him and he was fine and his passenger was fine."

Pascua explained that the type of plane that made the hard landing is not your typical small plane.

"Normally our planes are made out of metal--steel, aluminum--things like that: Cessna's and Pipers. But some of them are kits and this was a fabric plane. It's basically a steel frame but it's wrapped like in a fabric and it's painted and seasoned to be able to deal with that stuff but it's extremely light and very susceptible to wind."

"And it's just a testament to how much training we get and things that we have to do to overcome disaster and he did a great job of landing the plane and there's damage but he's good," said Pascua.
