Location: Brawley, CA
Accident Number: WPR16LA134
Date & Time: 07/02/2016, 0230 PDT
Registration: N6251G
Aircraft: BELL OH 58A
Aircraft Damage: Substantial
Defining Event: Loss of engine power (partial)
Injuries: 1 None
Flight Conducted Under: Part 137: Agricultural

On July 2, 2016, about 0230 Pacific daylight time, a Bell OH-58A, single-engine, agricultural helicopter, N6251G, experienced a partial loss of engine power while in the vicinity of Brawley Municipal Airport (BWC), Brawley, California. The commercial pilot was not injured. The helicopter was substantially damaged during the precautionary landing to a cropped field. The helicopter was registered to the Bank of Utah, and operated by Farm Aviation, Inc., Brawley, California, as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 137 aerial application flight. Night visual meteorological conditions were reported about the time of the accident. A flight plan was not filed for the local flight which departed shortly before the accident.

The pilot reported that after he departed BWC with a full chemical load, he maneuvered about 1/4 mile from the airport and made a 90° turn to line up on the field to be sprayed. Shortly after lining up, the engine started to surge, and the torque meter needle was "bouncing rapidly." The pilot then initiated a precautionary landing. The helicopter landed hard in an open field and came to rest in an upright position.

Examination of the helicopter, which was conducted by a representative from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), revealed that the tailboom and tail rotor driveshaft had sustained impact damage consistent with a main rotor strike as a result of the hard landing. The onsite examination of the airframe and engine revealed no anomalies.

Helicopter maintenance documentation was not available during the investigation. According to the pilot, the airframe had a total operating time of 13,688 hours at the time of the accident. The engine had a total operating time of 5,618 hours. The last 100-hour inspection was performed on June 15, 2016, about 74 hours prior to the accident flight.

The helicopter was moved to a secure location and the engine was shipped to a facility for further examination.

Examination of the engine was conducted at Aero Maritime in Phoenix, Arizona on July 28, 2016. An FAA inspector and a Rolls-Royce investigator were present for the examination. The engine was set up in a test cell and during the test run the engine's bleed valve did not close at any speed; the engine produced less than 250 horsepower. When the chip detectors were removed it was revealed that the lower detector had metal debris present and the upper detector had light amounts of metal debris present. When the bleed valve was replaced with an overhauled bleed valve, an additional test run resulted in increased performance rating of about 380 hp being produced (about 7% below minimum allowable power for a serviceable engine) before reaching the maximum specified operating temperature. After the engine test run, the engine was revealed to be unserviceable due to its low power production. No component log card or historical information for the bleed valve was found. According to Rolls-Royce, the compressor, turbine and bleed valve assemblies were overhauled in July 2014, and assembled as an engine. According to Rolls-Royce, the overhaul period for the bleed valve assembly is 1,500 hours. No log cards were available for the bleed valve installed. The engine had 766 hours since overhaul at the time of the accident.

When the accident engine's bleed valve was disassembled it was found that the diaphragm had several holes and cracks. The poppet valve located in the bleed valve assembly, had radial play consistent with worn bushings. According to Rolls-Royce, the non-functioning bleed valve exhibited wear that was not consistent with a bleed valve with comparable service time.

Flight Conducted Under: Part 91: General Aviation - Personal 

On April 13, 2016, about 1105 Pacific daylight time, a Cessna 421C airplane, N21SG, was substantially damaged during a runway excursion while landing at Furnace Creek Airport (L06), Death Valley National Park, California. The airline transport pilot and two passengers were not injured. The airplane was privately owned and was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed, and no flight plan was filed for the flight, which originated from St. George Regional Airport (SGU), St. George, Utah, about 0945.

The pilot stated that the flight was uneventful and that he entered the airport traffic pattern to land on runway 33 at L06. He stated that the airplane touched down within the first 500 ft of runway, and that upon application of brakes, he found the right brake "very soft" and "totally ineffective." The airplane departed the end of the 3,065-foot-long runway and the nose landing gear collapsed, resulting in substantial damage to the fuselage.

The airplane was not examined following the accident and was subsequently ferried from L06 to another airport for repair. No information was made available regarding the right brake, and the reason for the malfunction during landing could not be determined.

The pilot did not submit the National Transportation Safety Board Pilot/Operator Aircraft Accident/Incident report form 6120.1.

Accident Number: ANC20LA020
Date & Time: 02/04/2020, 1558 AKS

Aircraft: Cessna 208
Injuries: 7 None
Flight Conducted Under: Part 135: Air Taxi & Commuter - Scheduled 

On February 4, 2020, about 1558 Alaska standard time, a Cessna 208B Caravan airplane, N454SF, sustained substantial damage after overrunning the end of the runway during takeoff, at the Hooper Bay Airport (HPB), Hooper Bay, Alaska. Of the 8 occupants onboard, the commercial pilot and six adult passengers, along with one infant passenger, were not injured. The airplane was registered to Aviation Capital Corporation and was operated by Grant Aviation under the provisions of Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 135 as an instrument flight rules scheduled passenger flight.

Day instrument meteorological conditions prevailed at the time of the accident, and an instrument flight plan was filed. The flight originated from HPB, about 1558, and was destined for Bethel, Alaska (BET).

According to the captain, the weather conditions the day of the accident consisted of snow, low visibility, and flat light. The original flight departure time had been delayed about 3 hours due to weather. The scheduled route of flight was from Bethel (BET), to Scammon Bay (SCM), to HPB, to Chevak (VAK), returning to BET with various passengers and cargo pick-ups and drop-offs along the route. Prior to departure from BET he received runway reports from his dispatcher that all destination airport runways were ready. He also obtained weather at all three destinations. He then did a risk analysis and gathered more weather before deeming the flight conditions good to dispatch the flight.

While enroute to HPB he gathered weather for VAK and determined that the VAK portion of the flight would be canceled due to deteriorating weather. Once in HPB he landed without incident on the snow covered runway. He then called Grant dispatch in BET and informed that he would take all the passengers going to BET since he had canceled his flight to VAK; he loaded 7 passengers total and their bags. During the time on the ground, while waiting for passengers, a twin-engine King Air airplane landed and departed the runway with no incident.

The pilot then back taxied for a runway 13 departure at HPB. He stated that flat light conditions prevailed, and it was difficult to see down the runway or have any depth perception. He initiated the takeoff with 20 degrees of flap selected and noticed no issues during the initial takeoff roll. He then noticed the airspeed was not increasing fast enough, witnessed the end of the runway approaching, and decided he could not abort the takeoff in time. Committed to the takeoff the airplane became airborne and the stall warning horn activated as the airplane cleared the departure end of the runway. The pilot attempted to get the airplane into ground effect, but the airplane settled, and the main landing gear encountered the snow covered terrain. Subsequently, the airplane's speed decreased, the nose wheel descended and encountered the snow, and the airplane came to rest upright about 150 ft from the end of the runway. All crew and passengers evacuated the airplane, and nobody was injured.

The pilot added that the snow on the runway during departure was about 3-5 inches of wet heavy snow.

Airport information for HPB effective January 30, 2020 states under airport remarks,

Unattended. Runway condition not monitored; recommend visual inspection prior to using.

The automated weather observation system at the accident airport reported that, about the time of the accident, the visibility was 1 1/4 statute miles in light snow, overcast clouds at 1,500 ft, with wind from 060° at 10 knots.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (KTUU) — A Grant Aviation flight crashed during takeoff and slid off the runway in Hooper Bay on Tuesday.

Grant Aviation Vice President of Operations Dan Knesek confirmed that the flight left the end of the runway in Hooper Bay late Tuesday afternoon.

National Transportation Safety Board officials separately confirmed that aircraft involved was a Cessna 208B Grand Caravan with eight people on board.

Knesek and National Transportation Safety Board Alaska Chief Clint Johnson say no injuries have been reported by passengers or the pilot.

"We're taking care of the pilot and all the passengers and getting all that taken care of and working with the National Transportation Safety Board," Knesek said.

The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating.

No injuries were reported Tuesday afternoon when a Grant Aviation Cessna 208B Grand Caravan crashed during takeoff in Hooper Bay, according to a Federal Aviation Administration notice posted early Wednesday.

The plane “impacted the ground causing a prop strike," the notice said. There were seven passengers and a pilot on board.

Dan Knesek, director of operations at Grant Aviation, said the commercial flight took off in Hooper Bay around 4 p.m. and was headed to Chevak. Knesek said it’s unclear if or how long the plane was airborne.

“The investigation is just starting,” he said. “We’re working with the National Transportation Safety Board and Federal Aviation Administration as we speak.”

Hooper Bay is a village on the Bering Sea coast in Southwest Alaska.

Analysis

The flight instructor reported that she briefed the soft-field takeoff procedure with the student pilot while holding short for the active runway. After the flight was cleared for takeoff, the student aligned the airplane with the runway centerline, advanced the throttle to the full-power position, and released aft pressure from the yoke. During the ground roll, the instructor briefly lost sight of the runway, and when the runway reappeared, she saw the airplane rapidly veering left. The instructor applied full right rudder and right aileron, but the airplane continued veering left. Unable to stop the turn, the instructor reduced engine power but quickly restored it with the intent of flying the airplane back to the runway because the airplane had become airborne. However, the airplane then rolled left, the stall horn sounded, and the airplane touched down on the taxiway and impacted a parked airplane. The right wing and left aileron sustained substantial damage. The instructor and student reported that there were no preaccident
mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that could have precluded normal operation.

Probable Cause and Findings

The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be:
The student pilot's failure to maintain directional control and the flight instructor's inadequate remediation during a short-field takeoff, which resulted in impact with a parked airplane. 

Findings
