On March 5, 2022, at 1:07 pm, the Alaska State Troopers were notified of an ELT activation in the Lake Iliamna area. The signal was determined to be coming from approximately 200 miles southwest of Anchorage and 8 miles southwest of Iliamna, on the frozen offshore waters of Lake Iliamna. The Alaska Wildlife Troopers immediately launched an R44 helicopter from King Salmon to the area while local crews and private aircraft from Iliamna attempted to access the area. Rescue teams and Troopers located a Cessna 206 aircraft with tail number N1853Q that had been destroyed in the crash. All five adult occupants of the aircraft were alive but had sustained serious injuries.

The Alaska Air National Guard at Joint Base Elmendorf Richardson and the US Coast Guard at Kodiak dispatched helicopter rescue teams to the area. Poor weather conditions initially prevented the Air Guard and USCG helicopter crews from making it to the area. At approximately 6 pm both helicopter rescue teams arrived at the crash site and hoisted all five injured persons from the scene. They were then transported by helicopter to Iliamna and then medevaced to Anchorage area hospitals using both Air Guard and LifeMed fixed-wing aircraft. The current medical status of the five plane occupants is not known.

The NTSB was notified of the incident, and they will conduct an investigation into the cause of the crash.

The Alaska Department of Public Safety wishes to thank the following agencies for their tenacity in persevering through severe weather conditions and participation in this operation including the Alaska Rescue Coordination Center, Alaska Air National Guard, United States Coast Guard Air Station Kodiak, LifeMed, Iliamna Clinic, Lake and Peninsular Airlines, Iliamna Air Taxi, and the volunteer SAR members and residents of Iliamna and local area; whose team efforts were truly appreciated.

Mooney M20K 231, N777WP: Fatal accident occurred March 13, 2020 in Sylmar, Los Angeles County, California

LOS ANGELES, California - The widow and daughter of a passenger who was killed in a small plane crash in Newhall in 2020 are suing the estate of the pilot and the estate's representative. 

Gina Solis brought the Los Angeles Superior Court lawsuit on behalf of herself and her 10-year-old daughter on Thursday against the estate of John Russell Calvert and the estate's representative, Gregory Michael Calvert. The suit alleges negligence and both strict and negligent products liability.  

The Solises are the wife and daughter of the late 36-year-old Kevin Solis of Fontana, who was the only passenger onboard the plane flown by the 77-year-old Calvert, a Valencia resident.  

Calvert "negligently, carelessly, recklessly, unskillfully ... maintained, operated, controlled and flew (the plane) so as to proximately cause the (aircraft) to crash thereby causing the death of Kevin Solis," the suit states.  

Solis was unaware of any defects in the plane before the crash, the suit states.  

A representative for the Calvert estate could not be reached.  

The crash occurred near the Sunshine Canyon Landfill at about 1:50 p.m. March 13, 2020. The Mooney M20K left Southwest Oregon Regional Airport in North Bend, Oregon, earlier that day and vanished from radar while inbound to Van Nuys Airport. A witness working at the landfill reported hearing engine problem sounds from the aircraft and the wreckage was later found on a hill near the landfill. Both the pilot and passenger were killed.

On March 13, 2020, about 1447 Pacific daylight time, a Mooney M20K, N777WP, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident near Sylmar, California. The private pilot and passenger were fatally injured. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight.

Preliminary review of air traffic control communications between the pilot and the air traffic control tower controller revealed that the pilot initially advised the controller he was inbound on the ILS approach. The controller subsequently cleared the pilot to land on runway 16R, and reported wind from 140 degrees, at 7 knots. A short time later, the controller queried the pilot, advising that he was deviating to the west and at a low altitude, to which the pilot responded they were on course and level. About 18 seconds later, the controller alerted the pilot that he was right of course and if he was not established, alternate instructions would be provided. The pilot responded shortly after that he was turning. About 15 second later, the controller issued the pilot instructions to fly heading 160°, climb and maintain 5,000 ft, to which the pilot acknowledged. The controller responded to the pilot's acknowledgement and instructed to the pilot to fly a 160° heading and climb to 5,000 ft, which the pilot acknowledged a second time. Despite further attempts, no further radio communication was received from the pilot.

Examination of the accident site revealed that the airplane impacted power lines, which were about 50 ft in height, before impacting terrain about 250 ft downslope of the powerlines. The fuselage came to rest inverted on heading of about 014° magnetic in a canyon surrounded by mountainous tree covered terrain at an elevation of about 2,315 ft mean sea level (msl). The wreckage debris path was measured about 260 ft in length, oriented on a heading of about 064° magnetic. All major structural components of the airplane were located within about 10 ft of the main wreckage. The wreckage was recovered to a secure location for further examination.

WATERLOO, Iowa — A plane slid off the end of a runway Saturday night at the Waterloo Regional Airport, but none of the 88 passengers were injured.

The incident occurred during the scheduled landing of a Boeing 737-800 aircraft at 6:07 p.m., according to information from the online flight tracking and data platform FlightAware. A storm system that included heavy rain was passing through the Cedar Valley at the time, which slowed down efforts to rescue the stranded passengers.

Waterloo Fire Rescue Battalion Chief Ben Petersen said 10 firefighters in four units responded to the incident over three hours.

"It had landed and it continued and slid off of runway 36," he said of the plane. "It was probably 500 to 1,000 feet off the runway, so off the pavement.

"The plane stayed in an upright position and there was no fire," he added, which was the "best outcome" for the situation.

According to the airport's website, 18/36 is its shorter, secondary runway at 6,003 feet long and 150 feet wide.

Regarding the storm, Petersen said, "I'm sure it played a role" in the incident. "I can't say it caused it." However, "weather and the condition of the ground played a factor for us."

He noted that the ground was saturated from torrential rains, which hampered efforts to quickly rescue passengers. Firefighters used airport maintenance roads to reach the airplane. 

"We had to work with airport maintenance to transport a portable stairwell to the crash site," said Petersen. Once people got off the plane, they were loaded onto school buses and driven to the terminal.

"Once they got to the terminal, I'm not sure what accommodations were made," Petersen said.

Waterloo Regional Airport officials didn't immediately respond to requests for comment about the incident.

FlightAware shows that the plane came from Dane County Regional Airport in Madison, Wisconsin, and is operated by iAero Airways, a charter airline. Swift Airways, which is providing charter flights from Waterloo to Laughlin/Bullhead City, Arizona, is owned by iAero. Caesars Entertainment operates two casinos in that area, 90 miles south of Las Vegas.

According to the website for Waterloo's airport, the company had a chartered flight scheduled to depart at 7:30 p.m. Saturday. The FlightAware data didn't record that departure, but showed a flight leaving Sunday at 2:55 p.m. for Laughlin/Bullhead City, Arizona.

Aircraft Damage: Substantial

Defining Event: Attempted remediation/recovery 

Injuries: 2 None

Flight Conducted Under: Part 91: General aviation - Personal

Analysis

During a descent to perform contour flying for a practical test, the pilot applicant vented the balloon. When it began to level off too high, he vented it again and the balloon began a descent he described as “faster than (he) expected.” The designated pilot examiner (DPE) called for a burn and the pilot applicant “gave a short burn” with one burner. The DPE, recognizing that the burn was insufficient to arrest the balloon’s descent, called for another burn while simultaneously grabbing the other burner. The balloon started to ascend and when the DPE realized that the basket was going to strike a light pole, he removed his hand from the burner

and called for the pilot applicant to do the same; however, the pilot applicant did not remove his hand from the burner. When the basket impacted the pole, the load tapes sustained burn and heat damage. The DPE assumed control and flew them to an uneventful landing. 

The pilot reported that there were no pre-accident mechanical malfunctions or anomalies 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 applicant’s delayed reaction to the balloon's increased rate of descent, which resulted in impact with a light pole.

Flight Conducted Under: Part 91: General aviation - Personal

Analysis

The pilot reported that while landing at his destination airport and entering ground effect on final approach, the airplane “was blown left” from the runway centerline and ballooned. The pilot pushed the nose over to keep the airplane from stalling. As the wheels touched down, the airplane veered to the left and exited the left side of the runway. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the right wing and flap. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operations. At the time of the accident, the pilot was landing the airplane on runway 13 with wind 180° at 8 knots, gusting to 14 knots.

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 of the airplane during landing with a gusting crosswind that resulted in a runway excursion.
