Location: Bozeman, Montana 
Accident Number: WPR21LA289
Date and Time: July 25, 2021, 13:44 Local 
Registration: N8844K
Aircraft: Stinson 108-1 
Aircraft Damage: Substantial
Defining Event: Loss of control on ground 
Injuries: 2 Minor
Flight Conducted Under: Part 91: General aviation - Personal

Analysis

The pilot in the tailwheel-equipped airplane reported that, he made a normal wheel landing and as he was about to lower the tailwheel, the airplane veered to the right. He attempted to correct with left rudder control, but the airplane ground looped. The pilot opined that the airplane may have been caught by a wind gust, which started an oscillation that he was not able to correct for. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the left wing and lift strut. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operations.

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 landing which resulted in a ground loop.

Findings

Defining Event: Collision with terr/obj (non-CFIT) 
Injuries: 1 Serious
Flight Conducted Under: Part 91: General aviation - Personal

Analysis

During the final approach the pilot thought that he was too high to land safely, so he executed a go-around. During the climb out, the pilot felt a thump and the airplane turned about 90° and “mushed into the tree tops.” The airplane subsequently nosed into the ground, which resulted in substantial damage to both wings and the fuselage. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures that would have precluded normal operation.

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 clearance from the trees during a go-around.

Factual Information

On July 29, 2021, about 1230 central daylight time, a Stinson JR SR airplane, N81Y, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident near Ripon, Wisconsin. The pilot received minor injuries and the three passengers were not injured. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations 91 personal flight.

The airplane was in-bound to the destination airport via a visual flight rules arrival procedure when the engine lost total power. The pilot conducted a forced landing to a muddy field where the airplane nosed over and came to rest inverted.

The responding Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) inspector noted substantial damage to the empennage. The inspector also noted that the one fuel tank was empty and there was fuel staining on the soil. The pilot reported that the airplane should have had about 15 to 20 gallons of fuel remaining. He added that the carburetor was recently overhauled and that there might have been something wrong with the carburetor.

In a subsequent conversation, the pilot reported that he believed that nothing was wrong with the carburetor, but the airplane had an “odd fuel system” and if the fuel level was low, the engine could experience fuel starvation due to decreased fuel pressure, to which he attributed the loss of engine power.

Flight Conducted Under: Part 91: General aviation - Personal

On December 2, 2021, about 1415 central standard time, a Beech A36, N8038Z, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident near Cleveland, Texas. There were no injuries. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight.

The pilot reported that while enroute at 6,000 ft on an instrument flight rules flight plan the airplane engine suddenly lost power. He reported that he was not in the process of changing or manipulating anything at the time of the power loss. The pilot elected to fly toward a nearby airport depicted on his GPS receiver. While gliding toward the airport, he attempted to restart the engine several times, but he could not get fuel flow back even with the fuel pump on. He attempted switching fuel tanks during this time and the airplane engine monitor showed no fuel flow despite restart attempts.

During the descent the airplane went through some clouds and broke out of the clouds about 3,000 ft. The pilot realized that he would not be able to reach the airport he had selected and redirected the airplane toward a nearby highway.

During the landing flare on the highway, the right wing tip struck a road sign. The airplane exited the highway and came to rest nose down in a ditch.

SAN JACINTO COUNTY, Texas — The three people on a small plane and an SUV driver on Highway 59 are probably counting their blessings right now.

The plane clipped a Toyota SUV with its landing gear before coming to a stop in a  field.near Highway 59 in Shepherd Thursday afternoon, according to the San Jacinto County Sheriff's Office.

Thankfully, the three people on the Beechcraft A36 Bonanza and the driver of the SUV weren't hurt, according to the DPS. 

"It's a traumatic experience. You never want to be that guy," said career pilot Paul Parsons. 

He said it's miraculous that no one was hurt, the best possible outcome a pilot could hope for under the circumstances.

They were flying from Jennings, Louisiana to Junction, Texas when something went wrong at 6,000 feet.

The DPS said a  preliminary investigation indicates the pilot suddenly lost power around 2:15 p.m.

"He's going back to training and he saw an opening, roadways are a good place to land, they're clear of obstruction… we're all trained to do that," Parsons said.

The pilot has been identified as 37-year-old Kendall John Krielow of Thibodeaux, Louisiana, the DPS said.

The driver of the SUV was identified as 51-year-old Towhid Aziz Chowdhury of Katy.

Chowdhury told KHOU 11 that he's doing fine but is still pretty shaken by what happened and not ready to talk about it yet.

The Federal Aviation Administration has been contacted and will conduct the investigation.

Shepherd is a small town about 60 miles northeast of Houston near the Liberty County line in San Jacinto County.









Both an aircraft and a vehicle received damage, but fortunately there were no injuries after a pilot made an emergency landing shortly after 2:00 Thursday afternoon next to U.S. Highway 59 near Shepherd.

The incident involved a Beechcraft A36 Bonanza, registered to KJK Enterprises, LLC in Houston, and was carrying the pilot and two passengers. Online aviation records show that the plane departed the Jennings, Louisiana Municipal Airport and was bound for the Kimble County Airport in Junction, Texas.

A preliminary report from the Federal Aviation Administration says that the plane experienced an “…inflight loss of engine power over San Jacinto County near Shepard, Texas.”

The Montgomery County Police Reporter is reporting that the aircraft was at 6,000 feet when it lost power. The pilot was going to try to land at the nearby Cleveland airport, but once breaking below the overcast cloud layer realized that was not an option.

Trying to land on Highway 59, the report said that the aircraft came down on top of an SUV occupied only by the driver. The plane then came down hard on the pavement which sent it veering off of the highway and sheered off the nose gear.

The names of the pilot, passengers, or SUV driver have not been released.
