On September 18, 2025, about 1320 central daylight time, a Piper PA-32R-301 airplane, N318JM, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident near Oxford, Mississippi. The pilot and passenger sustained serious injuries. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight.
According to witnesses, the airplane pitched up aggressively at full engine power during rotation from the runway and continued to hold the nose-high pitch attitude, remaining at full engine power, until the airplane entered an aerodynamic stall and the right wing dropped. The airplane impacted terrain on the right side of the runway and came to rest upright against trees on airport property resulting in substantial damage to both wings, the fuselage, and the stabilator.
According to the airport manager, the airplane’s right-wing fuel tank was topped off with 38.9 gallons of 100 Low-Lead aviation gasoline before the flight departed. Postaccident fuel samples were taken from both the airplane and the fuel distribution truck with no anomalies found. The fuel selector valve was found with the right tank selected.
The airplane was retained for further examination.
