Aircraft: Piper PA-32-300
Injuries: 4 None
Flight Conducted Under: Part 135: Air Taxi & Commuter - Non-scheduled 

On April 11, 2019, about 1613 Alaska daylight time, a Piper PA-32-300 airplane, N4466T, sustained substantial damage during a forced off-airport landing following a complete loss of engine power, about 25 nautical miles northeast of the Bethel Airport (BET), Bethel, Alaska. The pilot and three passengers sustained no injuries. The airplane was registered to a private individual and was operated by Yute Commuter Service under the provisions of Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 135 as a visual flight rules, on-demand passenger flight. Day visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time of the accident, and a company flight plan was filed. The flight originated from the Aniak Airport (ANI), Alaska about 1532.

During a telephone conversation with the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) investigator-in-charge (IIC), the pilot reported that, while en route from ANI to BET, the engine began to sound different and he observed a decline of the engine oil pressure to below the green arc. The engine rpm decreased to about 2000 rpm, and the oil pressure continued to decrease to the yellow arc. He added that, as he turned the airplane toward the Akiak Airport (AKI), the closest airport, and while adjusting the propeller rpm, all engine power was lost. During the subsequent off-airport forced landing, on the tundra-covered meadow, the main landing gear separated from the airplane, which resulted in substantial damage to both wings and the fuselage.

The airplane was subsequently recovered from the accident site and transported to a secure location for further examination.

The airplane was equipped with a Lycoming IO-540 engine. A postaccident engine examination is pending.

The closest weather reporting facility was the Kipnuk Airport, Kipnuk, Alaska, about 9 nautical miles from the accident site. At 1356, the METAR was reporting, in part: wind 060° at 18 knots; visibility 10 statute miles, scattered clouds at 7,000 ft, broken 8,000 ft.

A Yute Air plane crashed without injuries Thursday afternoon near Bethel, according to Alaska State Troopers and the National Transportation Safety Board.

Word of the crash, about 30 miles northeast of Bethel, reached troopers at about 5 p.m. according to an online dispatch.

“The aircraft, a Yute Air [Piper] PA-32, was being operated commercially on a charter flight from Aniak to Bethel,” troopers wrote. “The pilot and three adult male passengers were not injured. An Alaska Army [National] Guard UH-60 helicopter responded from Bethel and picked up the survivors.”

Clint Johnson, the NTSB’s Alaska chief, confirmed that no injuries had been reported in the crash. According to Johnson, “the pilot reported loss of engine power” which led to “a subsequent forced landing” of the single-engine plane.

Investigators were awaiting further details on the crash Thursday evening, Johnson said.

https://registry.faa.gov/N38658


Location: Meriden, CT
Accident Number: ERA19LA149
Date & Time: 04/11/2019, 1854 EDT
Registration: N38658
Aircraft: Piper PA28R
Injuries: 2 Serious
Flight Conducted Under: Part 91: General Aviation - Personal 

On April 11, 2019, at 1854 eastern daylight time, a Piper PA28R-201, N38658, was substantially damaged during a forced landing in Meriden, Connecticut. Both the private pilot and pilot-rated passenger were seriously injured. The airplane was registered to the Westchester Flying Club and operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time of the accident and no flight plan was filed for the local flight that originated from Meriden Markham Municipal Airport (MMK), Meriden, Connecticut at 1850.

The pilot reported that he intended to fly in the airport traffic pattern after routine maintenance "to see how the plane was working." He checked the fuel level during his preflight inspection of the airplane and noted that the fuel was "to the tabs." After completing an engine runup, he departed runway 18 at MMK. He extended the downwind leg to allow time for another airplane in the traffic pattern. After reaching an altitude of about 500 ft above ground level on the base leg, he attempted to add power to maintain altitude. The engine did not respond, and he then noticed the RPM was decreasing. When he determined that he would not reach the runway, he attempted a forced landing on a baseball field. During the approach, the airplane impacted power lines which caused the airplane to "rotate straight up" and then fall tail-first to the ground.

A private pilot witness who lived under the MMK traffic pattern observed the accident airplane from his front yard. He lost sight of the airplane on its downwind leg when it passed behind his house. It was at that time that he heard the engine RPM increase, a "pop" and then the sound of decreasing RPM. The airplane came back into view as it turned to the base leg. The witness stated that the airplane appeared to be too low and descending too quickly, and he heard no engine sound. He watched the airplane strike the power lines and heard several loud "booms" as the wires shorted out.

Initial examination of the wreckage by a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) inspector revealed that the fuselage aft of the wings and the empennage were impact damaged and crushed forward, and the trailing edges of the both wings were impact damaged in multiple areas. A wire had torn through much of the left wing, and the left fuel tank was fractured and devoid of fuel.

According to FAA airman records, the pilot held a private pilot certificate with a rating for airplane single-engine land. His most recent FAA third-class medical certificate was issued December 4, 2017, at which time he reported 311 hours of total flight experience.

According to FAA airworthiness records, the airplane was manufactured in 1977. It was equipped with a Lycoming IO-360 series engine that drove a variable-pitch propeller.

The airplane was retained for further examination.

Meriden police spokesman Sgt. Christopher Fry speaks about the plane crash during a press conference Thursday. 

















MERIDEN — Investigators with the Federal Aviation Administration and state police were on scene Friday at the site of a small plane crash on the grounds of Wilcox Technical High School.

The crash knocked out power to much of the city. Eversource crews worked through the night to restore power and listed no affected customers as of Friday morning.

Meriden police spokesman Sgt. Christopher Fry said the department received a call reporting the crash shortly before 7 p.m. Thursday. Initially two people were trapped inside the small plane, which was tangled in live electrical wires. 

Fry said the two male passengers — one in his 30s and the other in his 50s — sustained non-life-threatening injuries. One was able to get out of the plane on his own. Medical personnel were able to remove the other. 

Both were taken to MidState Medical Center. One was later transported to Hartford Hospital via LifeStar helicopter, Fry said. Police on Friday said their injuries were considered minor.

No one was on the athletic field at the time of the crash. 

“This is about the best-case circumstance you could possibly get in any type of plane crash,” Fry said. 

Wilcox will be closed today, Fry said.

The Federal Aviation Administration was expected to arrive on scene today to investigate, Fry said. He also said it was unclear Thursday night how the crash would affect classes at Wilcox. 

Fry said the occupants told first responders they were practicing a “touch-and-go” maneuver, or touching down and immediately taking off again, when the plane lost power. He said that was “very preliminary, don’t have any evidence to support that.”

It would “make sense” that the pilot would have been using nearby Meriden Markham Municipal Airport.

Eversource reported that as many as 13,366 customers were without power. Area fire departments, including Cheshire and Southington, provided assistance.

City Manager Tim Coon, who also responded to the scene, said Eversource officials told him they expected all power to be restored in short order, but that some areas could experience ongoing issues.

“They anticipate full power restoration in 12 hours,” Coon said.

Firefighters were tied up at several emergencies caused by the power outages in addition to the plane crash.

While no one was on the field at the time of the crash, Fry said first responders did have to direct people who were at the school and in the surrounding neighborhood. In particular, he said they had to direct people away from the wires.

“I don’t think they understood what type of danger they were in at the time,” he said.

Tucker Sperry, who lives on nearby Glen Place, said he was in his backyard when he heard the sound of the plane coming down.

“I was at my house and heard the crash. It sounded like thunder,” he said.

He walked toward Wilcox and could smell fuel. He said the plane came to rest on the baseball field and both wings appeared to be snapped.

Kieara Parker, a senior at Platt High School, also was able to view the plane before being moved back.

“Thank God this didn’t happen while we were in school,” she said.

Aircraft: Cessna 150
Injuries: 1 Serious
Flight Conducted Under: Part 91: General Aviation - Personal 

On April 11, 2019, about 1430 eastern daylight time, a Cessna 150G, N3795J, was substantially damaged during a forced landing in Fulton, New York. The private pilot received serious injuries. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed, and a visual flight rules flight plan was filed for the flight that departed Malone-Dufort airport (MAL), Malone, New York about 1230, destined for Oswego County Airport (FZY) Fulton, New York. The personal flight was conducted under the provisions of 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91.

The pilot reported that the airplane was last flown on July 21, 2018. Since that time It had been stored in his hangar at MAL. The airplane had a supplemental type certificate for the use of automotive fuel, but the pilot kept it stored with 100LL aviation fuel. Prior to the accident flight, he added fewer than 5 gallons of 100LL aviation fuel to top off both tanks before departure. According to the pilot, the 2-hour flight from MAL to FZY was uneventful. Just after he turned to the base leg of the traffic pattern for runway 6 at FZY, he applied the carburetor heat as he prepared to reduce the engine power below 2,000 RPM. As soon as he applied the carburetor heat, the engine "faltered" and experienced a partial loss of power. The engine noise decreased but did not cease. He then pushed the carburetor heat fully off, and the engine seemed to regain some, but not all power. He then reapplied the carburetor heat, and the engine lost all power. He attempted to restart the engine but was unsuccessful. He then performed a forced landing to a road in a populated area about 1.3 nautical miles from the end of runway 6. During landing, the right wing struck a utility pole. The airplane came to rest inverted with both wings partially separated from the fuselage, about 100 yards from the Oswego County ambulance station.

The pilot reported that his injuries were limited to a broken right wrist and a "bone chip" injury to his shoulder, and that he was wearing an aftermarket four-point safety harness which had been installed by a previous owner.

Examination of the wreckage by a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) inspector revealed that the fuselage came to rest inverted and parallel to the roadway. The right-wing leading edge forward of the aileron was crushed in the aft direction in a semicircular pattern. The right wing was mostly separated from the fuselage at the root and was rotated aft about 90 degrees. The left wing was mostly separated from the fuselage at the root, and rotated about 90 degrees forward, and inverted. The fuselage was fractured along the bottom and both sides, near the engine firewall. First responders observed fuel on the roadway and leaking from the airplane upon their arrival. The fuel selector was found in the "on" position.

The airplane was equipped with a 100-hp carbureted Continental O-200A engine. It was last run during the most recent annual inspection, which was performed on October 28, 2018. At that time the engine had accrued 1,214 hours since major overhaul.

According to FAA airman records, the pilot held a private pilot certificate with a rating for airplane single-engine land. His most recent third-class medical certificate was issued on August 7, 2017. According to his logbook, he had accumulated 145 hours of total flight experience, of which 31 hours were in the same make and model as the accident airplane.

At 1454 the weather conditions reported at FZY included temperature 5° Celsius, dew point (minus) -6° Celsius, overcast skies at 6,500 ft above ground level, visibility 10 miles.

The airplane was retained for further examination.

FULTON, New York (WSYR-TV) -- A small aircraft crashed in the city of Fulton Thursday afternoon. 

Oswego County 911 said the aircraft crashed around 3:30 p.m. near North Fourth Street. 

The pilot, 50-year-old Michael Simpson, was transported to Upstate with non-life-threatening injuries and is in "good condition" according to Upstate University's media relations.

Fulton Police believe Simpson was trying to land on the highway and that his plane may have lost power. 

Simpson was flying from Malone, New York (which is about 170 miles north of Fulton) to the Oswego County Airport, according to Police.  

"I would like to thank first responders and the medical team at Upstate University Hospital for their help. I feel blessed and grateful for everyone involved in my rescue. I have been treated with nothing but the utmost professionalism throughout, and I appreciate our entire community’s outpouring of support and concern," Simpson said in a statement.

MARYSVILLE, Ohio — Investigators are trying to figure out what happened after a single engine plane crashed and flipped upside down at the Union County Airport Thursday afternoon.

Witnesses say it happened right near the runway.
