Passengers on a Hawaiian Airlines flight had to evacuate the plane from emergency slides this morning after it landed in Honolulu due to reports of smoke in the cargo hold and cabin.

All passengers and crew evacuated the aircraft and seven passengers were taken to hospitals with smoke inhalation symptoms, according to an airline official.

First responders met flight Hawaiian Airlines Flight 47, which had concluded a flight from Oakland, Calif., to Honolulu, on the runway at Daniel K. Inouye International Airport.

Hawaiian Airlines said there were 184 passengers and seven crew aboard the plane, which landed at 11:36 a.m. shortly after an in-flight emergency was declared due to reports of smoke in the cargo hold and cabin.

“At this time, we are aware of seven passengers who were transported to local hospitals due to smoke-related symptoms,” Hawaiian Airlines said in a statement. “All other passengers and crew have deplaned and have been transported via bus to a terminal. We sincerely apologize to our passengers for this incident and thank them for their cooperation in the evacuation. We are working with airport officials and first responders to support our passengers and respond to this event.”

State Department of Transportation spokesman Tim Sakahara said no smoke or fire was visible from the outside when the plane landed.

The Airbus 321 plane landed safely on Runway 4R at Honolulu, according to the Federal Aviation Administration, and passengers deplaned on the runway.

The FAA said it will investigate the incident.

Aircraft Damage: Substantial
Defining Event: Loss of control in flight
Injuries: 2 Minor
Flight Conducted Under: Part 91: General Aviation - Personal 

The pilot of the amphibious-float equipped airplane reported that, while departing from a lake, the floatplane was not "gaining airspeed as usual" and that the takeoff run was taking "longer." Prior to aborting the takeoff, the left float lifted off the water, followed shortly by the right float. While in ground effect, the floatplane started to roll to the right. He corrected with full left aileron, but the floatplane continued to roll to the right. He then reduced power and applied 40ยบ of flaps and still the floatplane rolled right so he increased the throttle to full and the right wing impacted the water.

The airplane sustained substantial damage to the right wing.

Two witnesses reported that, about one hour prior to the accident flight, the same floatplane controlled by the same pilot, water taxied over rocks near the floatplane deck.

The pilot added that the lake was 2 to 3 feet lower than normal and while water taxiing back to the floatplane deck, he saw the rocks but did not realize it caused any damage to the floats. After the flight, he did not find any residual water in the floats but did not examine the rest of the floats because it was under water.

Pilot David Taisey, 69, of Pownal and passenger Mike Koob, 53, of Oquossoc were flying to Bangor, Stephen McCausland, spokesman for the Maine Department of Public Safety, said.

Both men were treated at a local hospital and released.

An official from the Maine Warden Service said the plane went down about 3:30 p.m. at the northeast point of the lake.

Officials said it crashed during takeoff and landed upside down on the water. A video taken by a man boating on the lake shows the plane was only about 50 feet above the lake when it overturned and crashed.

“I couldn’t hear a thing,” witness Derek Hoyt told WGME. “I just noticed it had gone up into the air. From the distance I was at, it didn’t look like it went more than 30 feet in the air, and then it just plummeted downward and crashed.”

When fire crews first arrived, they found the men swimming back to shore, according to witnesses.

Among the rescuers who responded were Franklin County Sheriff’s deputies and crews from the Rangeley Fire and Rescue Department.

The Federal Aviation Administration was expected to be called to investigate the cause.

The plane was being towed 6 miles to Oquossoc, McCausland said, and is owned by Acadian Seaplanes of Rangeley.

Cirrus SR22 GTS TC, N404PE: Accident occurred August 22, 2019 in Burnsville, Yancey County, North Carolina

Aviation Accident Preliminary Report - National Transportation Safety Board:  https://app.ntsb.gov/pdf

https://registry.faa.gov/N404PE

Location: Burnsville, NC
Accident Number: ERA19LA257
Date & Time: 08/22/2019, 1654 UTC
Registration: N404PE
Aircraft: Cirrus SR22
Injuries: 2 None
Flight Conducted Under: Part 91: General Aviation - Personal 

On August 22, 2019, about 1254 eastern daylight time, a Cirrus SR22, N404PE, was substantially damaged following an encounter with weather and deployment of the Cirrus Airframe Parachute System (CAPS) near Burnsville, North Carolina. The commercial pilot and the student pilot-rated passenger were not injured. Instrument meteorological conditions prevailed, and an instrument flight rules (IFR) flight plan was filed for the personal flight, which was conducted under the provisions of Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91. The airplane departed Donaldson Field Airport (GYH), Greenville, South Carolina at 1216, with an intended destination of Medina Municipal Airport (1G5), Medina, Ohio.

In a written statement, the pilot reported that he completed a flight from 1G5 to GYH earlier in the day. He serviced the airplane with fuel, reviewed the weather, and "confirmed there were no changes from the morning briefing" that he had obtained from Leidos flight service prior to departure from 1G5.

The airplane was initially cleared to 10,000 ft and later the Atlanta Air Route Traffic Control Center (ARTCC) controller cleared the airplane to 15,000 ft and ultimately to 17,000 ft at the pilot's request. The pilot noted both visually and on his NEXRAD radar display that "thunderstorms were building with cumulonimbus clouds along the route of flight." The controller advised a 30°e left turn when the clearance to 17,000 ft was issued, and the pilot "believed" the new course and altitude would place the airplane "on top of the build-up" and "between the two cells."

As the airplane approached the "developing weather system" the NEXRAD display showed the airplane's path "between" the two cells and that the airplane would penetrate clouds that "did not appear dangerous." Upon entry into the clouds, the airplane encountered "very strong" turbulence. At that time, the pilot disabled the autopilot and took control of the airplane and leveled the wings "with a climbing attitude." The airplane was below the clouds, and the pilot could see the airplane was "heading for a mountain (Mount Mitchell, North Carolina, 6,684 ft elevation)."

The pilot initiated a climb to "avoid the mountain" when the engine stopped producing power. The pilot then decided there was not sufficient time to attempt remedial actions and chose instead to deploy the CAPS system.

Preliminary radar and voice communication data from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) revealed that after the airplane levelled at 17,000 ft, the controller asked, "What would you like to do for the weather?" The controller informed the pilot that the 30° left turn directed earlier had been for traffic conflict resolution. The pilot replied, "Looks like this heading will work for a while."

About 7 minutes later, the pilot announced, "four papa echo has pulled the chute." The controller replied, "you have lost your engine?" and the airplane responded, "engine is lost, had a situation through the weather there, lost control, engine is gone." There were no further communications with the airplane.

In a telephone interview with an FAA aviation safety inspector, the student pilot-rated passenger, who was seated in the left seat, stated he and the pilot had been "making that trip for 4.5 years." He said that when the airplane penetrated the clouds the flight became "rough" and the airplane "stalled because of the weather." The passenger stated that the airplane was in a spin when it descended below the base of the clouds, and the pilot then deployed the CAPS.

The airplane came to rest in trees on Mount Mitchell.

The pilot held a commercial pilot certificate with ratings for airplane single engine land, multiengine land, and instrument airplane. He also held a flight instructor certificate with ratings for airplane single engine and instrument airplane. He was issued a second-class medical certificate on March 13, 2019. The pilot reported 5,343 total hours of flight experience, of which 1,907 were in the accident airplane make and model.

The student pilot-rated passenger was issued his student pilot and third-class medical certificate on November 5, 2004. He reported 15 total hours of flight experience on that date.

The four-seat, single-engine, low-wing, fixed-gear airplane was manufactured in 2007, and equipped with a Continental IO-550-N1B, 315-horsepower reciprocating engine. The airplane's most recent annual inspection was completed on June 28, 2019, at 3,187 total aircraft hours.

At 1642, the weather reported at Asheville Regional Airport (AVL), Asheville, North Carolina, located 28 miles south of the accident site, included a broken ceiling at 6,000 ft, wind from 340° at 9 knots, and 10 miles visibility. The temperature was 28 degrees C, the dew point was 18 degrees C, and the altimeter setting was 30.13 inches of mercury.

Review of weather data revealed that Convective SIGMET 46E with thunderstorms, AIRMET Sierra for IFR conditions, and AIRMET Zulu for icing above 12,000 – 14,000 ft were in effect along the airplane's route of flight.

The pilot reported that "Convective SIGMETs were received for route of flight."

The wreckage was recovered from the accident site by helicopter and retained for further examination.

BURNSVILLE, North Carolina -  Federal officials have located a crashed plane in the mountains of Western North Carolina on Thursday, according to Federal Aviation Administration officials.

According to an Federal Aviation Administration spokesperson, the Cirrus SR22t was found on a ridge on Mount Mitchell and its parachute helped it crash-land.

The two people on board were shaken but walking around after the crash and one of them was taken to the hospital to be checked out, according to Yancey County emergency officials.

The crash site was about half a mile off Mount Mitchell State Park property on the west side of the Black Mountain Range, emergency officials said. Had the plane come down just a foot or two over from where it landed, the situation could have had a very different ending, officials said.

The Federal Aviation Administration issued an alert notice about the aircraft after a pilot reported weather-related problems. Air traffic controllers lost contact with the flight shortly before 1 p.m., the Federal Aviation Administration said.

The Federal Aviation Administration said the plane departed from the Donaldson Center Airport in Greenville, South Carolina, and it was headed to the Medina Municipal Airport in Ohio.

According to the Federal Aviation Administration, local officials will release the names of the people on board.

Defining Event: Glider tow event
Injuries: 1 None
Flight Conducted Under: Part 91: General Aviation - Glider Tow 

The glider pilot reported that, while in tow and approaching 3,000ft AGL, the rear canopy opened. The glider pilot informed the tow airplane via radio of the open canopy, and the tow pilot informed the glider that he would try to tow the glider closer to the runway. Moments later, the glider entered an "uncontrollable downward spin," and the front canopy shattered. The pilot regained control of the glider, and he recalled that the rear canopy had separated from the glider. He made an extended right base and prepared for an off-airport landing. He reported that the flight controls were not responding properly, and the glider landed hard on the runway.

The pilot reported that after the accident he, found a section of the tow rope still connected to the glider, which was wrapped and inserted into the rudder mechanism.

Photographs received from FAA Inspectors showed that the tow rope exhibited overload signatures. Each airplane still had a portion of the tow rope attached to aircraft after the tow rope failure.

The glider sustained substantial damage to the composite fuselage.
