Defining Event: Loss of control on ground
Injuries: 1 None
Flight Conducted Under: Part 91: General Aviation - Personal 

Analysis 

The pilot reported that, during a touch-and-go landing, just after the airplane touched down, he reduced the flaps to 10° and applied full throttle for takeoff. While increasing airspeed, the airplane drifted left. He added right rudder, but the airplane continued to drift left, so he reduced engine power. The airplane then exited the left side of the runway, and the pilot briefly applied full throttle to cross a drainage ditch, and the airplane became airborne. Subsequently, when the airplane touched back down, the front landing gear separated from the airframe, and the airplane came to rest nose down.

The airplane sustained substantial damage to the right wing and fuselage.

The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.

The automated weather observation system at the airport reported that, about the time of the accident, the wind was from 100° at 3 knots. The pilot was performing a touch-and-go landing on runway 24. 

Probable Cause and Findings

The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be:
The pilot's failure to maintain directional control during takeoff with a tailwind.

Findings

Aircraft
Directional control - Not attained/maintained (Cause)

Personnel issues
Aircraft control - Pilot (Cause)

Environmental issues
Sloped/uneven terrain - Effect on equipment
Tailwind - Effect on operation

Una avioneta s’ha estavellat aquest dissabte a la tarda a la Ribera d’Ebre, entre els municipis de Vinebre i Flix. Els Bombers de la Generalitat han confirmat que els tres ocupants que hi viatjaven han mort com a conseqüència de l’impacte. El sinistre també ha originat un petit incendi de vegetació, que ha calcinat uns 150 metres quadrats i que les cinc dotacions dels Bombers activades ja han sufocat.

L’avioneta havia sortit de l’aeroport portuguès de Tires/Cascais i viatjava amb destinació a l’aeroport de Reus, segons informa Protecció Civil i AENA. La matrícula de l’aparell és alemanya, però de moment no s’ha donat a conèixer l’origen de les víctimes.

El sinistre s’ha produït poc abans de les quatre de la tarda i les causes per les quals l’aparell ha patit l’accident encara no estan determinades.

Diverses dotacions dels Mossos d’Esquadra, així com efectius de la Policia Local, s’han mobilitzat per realitzar les tasques de seguretat i control. Així mateix, tècnics de la comissió estatal d’investigació d’accidents d’aviació civil també s’han desplaçat fins al lloc del sinistre per esclarir els fets.

Seguint el protocol, la Direcció General de Protecció Civil ha activat en fase d’Alerta el Pla especial per a emergències aeronàutiques a Catalunya, AEROCAT, en previsió de que es presentés alguna dificultat a l’hora de gestionar la situació d’emergència.

Una avioneta se precipitó a tierra este miércoles en la aldea York, en el municipio de Morales, Izabal, y como resultado falleció una persona.

Julio Sánchez, portavoz de la Coordinadora Nacional para la Reducción de Desastres (Conred), confirmó que el accidente aéreo ocurrió en horas de la mañana. Las causas aún no se han establecido pero las autoridades ya manejan una hipótesis.

En la aeronave viajaba una persona, quien murió calcinada, se trata del capitán Armando Durán.

Conrado Monroy, portavoz de la Dirección General de Aeronáutica Civil (DGAC), explicó que la avioneta con matrícula TG-FDM salió a las 6:07 de la pista de la finca Bananeras, en Morales, Izabal, para realizar labores de fumigación.

Según indicó, se presume que debido a la baja altura a la cual volaba topó con las ramas de los árboles y se generó el accidente.

Con el incidente aéreo registrado hoy suman dos ocurridos esta semana en el país. El primero se dio el pasado lunes en un sector del municipio de Momostenango, en Totonicapán.

Según indicaron autoridades de la Dirección General de Aeronáutica Civil, una avioneta en la cual viajaba una pareja de esposos presentó fallas en el motor y buscó realizara un aterrizaje de emergencia; sin embargo, no logró llegar al aeropuerto más cercano y se desplomó.

El capitán Luis Alberto Castillo, de nacionalidad guatemalteca; y su esposa Margareth Castillo, de nacionalidad alemana, resultaron heridos y fue necesario trasladarlos a un hospital.

Um helicóptero com quatro homens a bordo caiu no mar da Barra da Tijuca, na altura do Posto 4, Zona Oeste do Rio, no fim da manhã desta quarta-feira (9). Segundo o Corpo de Bombeiros, um morreu e outros três, com ferimentos, foram levados para o Hospital Municipal Lourenço Jorge, no mesmo bairro.

O helicóptero caiu a cerca de 200 metros da costa no Posto 4, mas foi levado pela correnteza até o Posto 5, onde começou a afundar.

"O helicóptero veio voando baixo. Deu uma turbulência e caiu. Os tripulantes conseguiram se apoiar na aeronave. O piloto já estava com as costas machucadas. Quando tiraram, ele já estava mal", contou Alexsandro do Nascimento Oliveira, ambulante que vende quentinhas em frente ao local do acidente.

Vítimas

De acordo com informações da TV Globo, o morto é o piloto do helicóptero, identificado pelos bombeiros como Murilo Cesar de Castro Rebello, de 57 anos. Os socorristas disseram que ele teve uma lesão na coluna e se afogou. A causa da morte, no entanto, ainda será confirmada.

"Ele era uma pessoa extraordinária. Era um cara simples e amigo. Alguém inconfundível. Uma pessoa batalhadora que tinha trabalhando demais para estar onde estava”, afirmou outro piloto de helicóptero que estava no Lourenço Jorge, mas preferiu não se identificar.

Homens do Grupamento Marítimo prestam socorro no local. Segundo a análise preliminar dos bombeiros, os feridos - Marcelo Freitas, Hélio Leal Gomes e Paulo Fernando Pereira Seixas - não correm risco de vida.

"As pessoas ficaram boiando, e o primeiro que os bombeiros tiraram foi aquele que eles tentaram reanimar. Mas os outros pareciam estar tranquilos quando saíram da água. Tudo durou cerca de dez minutos", lembrou Amanda Macedo, caixa de quiosque em frente ao local do acidente.

A secretaria municipal de Saúde informou que os três feridos, internados no Hospital Lourenço Jorge, estão com o estado de saúde estável.

Segundo a GloboNews, o helicóptero é um Bell Jet Ranger, prefixo PT-HKY. O helicóptero teria decolado de heliponto no Recreio dos Bandeirantes e iria para Cabo Frio, na Região dos Lagos. As causas do acidente serão investigadas.

Devido à movimentação do Corpo de Bombeiros, uma das pistas da Avenida Lúcio Costa, na orla da Barra da Tijuca, foi fechada.

Um motorista identificado como Gustavo passava pelo local na hora do acidente e viu os passageiros saindo do helicóptero após a queda. "Pareceu o barulho de um relâmpago, uma explosão seca", contou.

Accident Number: GAA18CA559
Date & Time: 09/11/2018, 1030 EDT
Registration: N88AG
Aircraft: Piper PA34
Aircraft Damage: Substantial
Defining Event: Loss of control in flight
Injuries: 2 None
Flight Conducted Under: Part 91: General Aviation - Instructional 

The flight instructor in the multi-engine airplane reported that the pilot under instruction was wearing a view limiting device during a simulated instrument approach in visual flight rules conditions.

The instructor placed the left engine fuel selector in the off position to simulate an engine out, and the pilot under instruction initiated the left engine failure procedure placing the engine and propeller levers in a simulated feathered zero thrust configuration. The instructor became distracted by traffic and failed to place the left engine fuel selector in the on position.

With full flaps applied and the landing gear extended, about 250 feet AGL the instructor terminated the simulated instrument approach and instructed the pilot to land visually, however, the airspeed decreased below safe limits and he instructed the pilot to increase the airspeed. The pilot increased power on both engines, however, there was no increase in power on the left engine and the airplane rolled to the left about 45°. The instructor came on the controls and applied right aileron and right rudder, but the airplane touched down in a level attitude in a shallow lagoon on the left side of the runway.

The airplane sustained substantial damage to the forward fuselage bulkheads.

The pilot reported that there were no mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
