Date & Time: 11/16/2018, 1015 EST
Registration: N70252
Aircraft: Cessna E162
Aircraft Damage: Substantial
Defining Event: Loss of engine power (total)
Injuries: 1 Minor
Flight Conducted Under: Part 91: General Aviation - Personal 

On November 16, 2018, about 1015 eastern standard time, a Cessna 162, N70252, operated by Lanier Flight Center, was substantially damaged during a forced landing to a field near Franklin, North Carolina. The sport pilot received minor injuries. The personal flight was conducted under the provisions of Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed and no flight plan was filed for the flight that originated from Lee Gilmer Memorial Airport (GVL), Gainesville, Georgia, about 0900. The flight was destined to Macon County Airport (1A5), Franklin, North Carolina.

The sport pilot reported that near the destination airport, he reduced engine rpm from 2,350 to 2,200 and began a slow descent from cruise altitude of 3,500 ft mean sea level (msl) to traffic pattern altitude of 2,800 ft msl. The carburetor heat was not on at that time and about 2 minutes later, he became aware that the engine had lost all power without any roughness or sputtering. The sport pilot positioned the carburetor heat to on, mixture to full rich, and confirmed the fuel shut-off valve was not engaged; however, he was unable to restart the engine. During a forced landing to a field, the right wing struck a fence and the airplane came to rest inverted. The sport pilot further stated that after the accident, the operator inspected the airplane. Adequate fuel remained onboard and was absent of contamination. Additionally, no preimpact mechanical malfunctions were identified with the airframe or engine. The operator subsequently attempted a test-run of the engine on the airframe and the engine started and ran normally. The sport pilot added that he did not have a full understanding of the potentially subtle nature of carburetor ice.

Examination of the wreckage by a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) inspector revealed damage to the right wing and fuselage. The inspector confirmed that at his request, the operator completed a successful test-run of the engine on the airframe.

The recorded weather at the destination airport, at 1020, included a temperature of 5° C and a dewpoint of 0° C. Review of an FAA carburetor icing chart for the given conditions revealed "Serious icing (cruise power)." Review of a pilot operating handbook for the make and model airplane revealed "…Descent…5. CARB HEAT Control Know – ON (as required)…."

MACON COUNTY, N.C. (WLOS) — Macon County Emergency Services responded Friday morning to a plane crash on the east side of U.S. 441/Highway 23/Georgia Road, just south of the visitors' center.

MACON COUNTY, N.C. (WLOS) — Macon County Emergency Services responded Friday morning to a plane crash on the east side of U.S. 441/Highway 23/Georgia Road, just south of the visitors' center.

"Obviously there is still an investigation underway into what happened, but the initial report was that there was perhaps engine failure. The pilot was attempting to make an emergency landing and ended up crashing into the field here next to the highway," said Warren Cabe, Macon County EMS director.

The plane went down around 10 a.m. and there were no serious injuries.

Pilot Doug Finner tells News 13 that he was able to get himself out of the cockpit after the plane flipped during the emergency landing, saying the seatbelt worked, and he was able to walk away with just a few minor injuries.

Finner says his single-engine rented Cessna Skycatcher, registered in Gainesville, Georgia, lost power to the engine, and he was forced to make an emergency landing in a cow pasture south of Franklin.

Highway 23 can be busy at times and is a common route for large trucks. Finner said he the plane bounced over four or five lanes while, luckily, no one was driving by.

He was trying to land in the field across the street, but, he says, when he realized the plane could clip a tree, he turned the plane and then bounced on one side of the road before the nose went into the embankment, on the other side, causing the plane to flip.

Finner was able to free himself from the upside down cockpit and only suffered a few cuts.

He left from Gainesville Georgia, destined for Macon County. He says he will soon head back to Georgia, and the plane will be towed.

The plane was a rental which Finner said he had flown on and off for the last year.

The FAA is investigating.

VERSAILLES – A single-engine aircraft crash was reported during a landing Saturday afternoon at the Darke County Airport.

At approximately 4:20 p.m., emergency personnel from the Versailles Fire Department, Versailles Rescue and deputies from the Darke County Sheriff’s Office as well as investigators from the Federal Aviation Administration were dispatched to the Darke County Airport located at 9724 State Route 121 in reference to a plane crash.

According to the Darke County Sheriff’s Department, preliminary investigations revealed a 1999 Piper Saratoga single engine aircraft, piloted by 77-year-old Charles White of Gallatin, Tennessee, was attempting a landing eastbound on the main runway when the aircraft veered off the the left side and came to rest in a field.

The aircraft was reported as losing the left wing and part of the landing gear as a result of the crash. There was no fire reported from the aircraft, and it is unknown if the the fuel cells remained intact from the impact.

The aircraft was carrying one passenger at the time of the incident, 66-year-old aircraft owner Jeffrey Kingsbury of Gallatin, Tennessee, who was uninjured in the crash. White also was uninjured in the crash but was treated on the scene by Versailles Rescue and transported to Wayne HealthCare for an unrelated issue separate from the incident.

The NTSB is expected to arrive at the Darke County Airport sometime on Sunday to assist in the investigation.

The incident will remain under investigation by the Darke County Accident Reconstruction Team, the FAA and the NTSB.

Aircraft Damage: Substantial
Defining Event: Loss of control in flight
Injuries: 4 None
Flight Conducted Under: Part 91: General Aviation - Aerial Observation 

The helicopter pilot reported that while conducting a photography flight about 70ft AGL, the helicopter's heading was 190° and the airspeed was less than 9 knots. With a 14-knot tailwind the helicopter began to settle with power. He increased collective and applied forward cyclic to increase the airspeed, but the helicopter impacted the ground.

The helicopter sustained substantial damage to the main rotor system and the fuselage.

The pilot reported that the wind about the time of the accident was from the north at 14 knots.

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

According to the Helicopter Flying Handbook, Chapter 11, page 11-10:

When recovering from a settling with power condition, the pilot tends first to try to stop the descent by increasing collective pitch. However, this only results in increasing the stalled area of the rotor, thereby increasing the rate of descent. Since inboard portions of the blades are stalled, cyclic control may be limited. Recovery is accomplished by increasing airspeed, and/or partially lowering collective pitch. In many helicopters, lateral cyclic combined with lateral tailrotor thrust will produce the quickest exit from the hazard assuming that there are no barriers in that direction. In a fully developed vortex ring state, the only recovery may be to enter autorotation to break the vortex ring state.

Flight Conducted Under: Part 91: General Aviation - Personal 

The pilot reported that prior to departure, he overlooked a NOTAM which identified that fuel was not available at the airport where he had landed and had planned to refuel. He assessed his fuel quantity and departed the airport, subsequently, the engine lost power. He pitched the nose down, the engine regained power, but the pilot realized that the fuel supply was all but exhausted.

He attempted to maintain power and altitude, but eventually selected a field to land. He selected a touchdown point and circled to land, but the airplane did not complete the turn before he had to level the wings. The airplane touched down gently, but the airplane overran the intended landing area, collided with a drainage culvert, and nosed over.

The airplane sustained substantial damage to the composite fuselage and the windscreen.

The pilot determined that he had misinterpreted the manufacturer's pilot operating handbook's declaration of the airplane's total fuel capacity and the airplane's total useable fuel quantity.
