On August 15, 2022, about 1100 central daylight time, a Piper PA-28, N5341W, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident at Sky Landings Airport (22MS), Lucedale, Mississippi. The pilot and passenger were not injured. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight.

The pilot reported that after landing on the turf runway, the airplane veered to the left. The pilot was unable to correct toward centerline and the airplane subsequently nosed over in a peanut field to the left of the runway, which resulted in substantial damage to the right wing and vertical stabilizer.

The airplane was retained for examination.

Two people are recovering after a small plane crashed during an attempted landing at a skydiving facility in the Hudson Valley.

State Police in Ulster County said the single-engine, fixed wing airplane crashed at around 11:45 a.m. Sunday, Aug. 14, in the town of Gardiner.

At the time, the Piper PA-32-300 Cherokee Six plane was flying from Westchester County Airport in White Plains to Skydive The Ranch, located in Gardiner, police said.

While attempting to land at the skydiving facility, the pilot stated there appeared to be an issue with the plane’s brakes and the aircraft would not stop.
The pilot tried climbing in an attempt to make another landing, but did not gain enough altitude and struck a cable fence at the end of the runway near Sand Hill Road, according to police.

The plane then crossed Sand Hill Road and traveled through a vacant lot, striking trees and rocks before coming to a stop on Sand Hill Road.

Of the four people onboard, police said the pilot and front seat passenger suffered minor injuries. Nobody else was injured in the ordeal.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) are investigating. 

Joe Richards, the owner of Skydive the Ranch, told Daily Voice the plane involved belonged to someone else who came to the facility to visit a skydiver.
