On July 22, 2025, about 1706 Pacific daylight time, a Beechcraft Bonanza V35, N3785Q, sustained substantial damage when it was involved in an accident near Astoria, Oregon. 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 he and a flight instructor was enroute to Astoria Regional Airport, Astoria, Oregon to refuel during a cross-country flight to Arlington, Washington. The flight instructor reported that while the pilot maneuvered the airplane for an approach to runway 26, about 400 ft above ground level and about 3 miles southeast of the airport, the engine sputtered. The pilot stated that he immediately advanced the mixture control, but the engine sputtered again and then lost all power. The flight instructor’s subsequent attempt to restart the engine was unsuccessful and he then assumed control of the airplane to execute a forced landing. The airplane touchdown on a gravel road short of runway 26, overran an embankment and came to rest in a field. Postaccident examination of the airplane revealed that the lower fuselage sustained substantial damage.

The airplane was recovered to a secure facility for further examination.

- History of Flight:
On September 11, 2025, at about 1215 local time, a Parker Teenie Two, N311TS, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident near the Chehalis-Centralia Airport (CLS/KCLS), Chehalis, Washington. The sole pilot onboard was seriously injured.

According to preliminary information provided by the FAA and local newspapers, the airplane crashed in a field shortly after departure from KCLS.

The airplane, a single-seat, single-engine, low-wing, cantilever monoplane of conventional configuration and fixed tricycle undercarriage, serial number 16-215. According to public FAA records, the airplane was deregistered, and the last certificate was issued in 2011.

Review of on-scene photos show that the airplane came to rest upright about 0.70 mile from the departure end of runway 16. The wreckage consisted of the entire airplane, which was confined within a small area. There was no debris field leading to the main wreckage, and there was no post crash fire. Both wings remained attached to the airframe. The tail remained partially attached to the airframe. The right wing sustained leading edge impact damage and compression damage to the lower leading edge. The left wing sustained leading edge compression damage. The engine sustained extensive impact damage and was pushed aft. There was compression damage noted in the aft fuselage. The impact appears consistent with a low altitude aerodynamic stall/spin. (figure 1) 

According to Wood and Sweginnis (2006), Aircraft Accident Investigation – 2nd edition, provides the following description of the wreckage from an aircraft that had spun into the ground, with reference to Figure 1:

There is little or no evidence of forward motion. Although the fuselage probably impacted at a steep nose down attitude, it is likely that there is evidence of a wing tip striking the ground before the nose. The down-going wing will normally strike the ground before the up-going wing, providing one clue as to the direction of the spin. Both the fuselage and the wings will probably have damage which reflects both a high sink rate and yaw. Tall thin objects on the ground, like trees and fence posts, are likely to penetrate the airplane almost from bottom to top, reflecting the almost vertical trajectory of the airplane. Undamaged objects may be found immediately behind the trailing edges, again indicating the vertical path of the airplane.

On September 14, 2025, at about 1252 local time, a Piper PA-34-200 Seneca, N1380T, registered to N1380T LLC out of Wilmington, Delaware, sustained minor damage when it was involved in an incident at Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport (FXE/KFXE), Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The pilot and passenger were not injured. The flight originated from Hollywood-North Perry Airport (HWO/KHWO), Hollywood, Florida, at about 1215 LT.

The FAA reported that "aircraft departed, experienced a rough running engine once airborne, attempted to land same runway and rolled off the end into the grass." Preliminary ADS-B data suggests the airplane landed on runway 27 and conducted a go-around before the coverage stopped around the departure end of the same runway (figure 1).

The same airplane was involved in a landing gear collapse event last month during an attempted landing at KHWO.

On September 12, 2025, at about 1738 local time, a Cessna 210A Centurion, N911MC, registered to King Daddy Aviation LLC out of Madison, MS, sustained unknown damage following a forced landing near Grenada, Mississippi. The sole pilot onboard was not injured. The flight originated from Gulfport–Biloxi International Airport (KGPT), Gulfport, MS, at about 1550 LT, and was destined to an unknown location.

Preliminary ADS-B data indicates the airplane departed KGPT and entered a climbing left turn to an inflight cruising altitude of 4,700 ft (figure 1). The pilot reported to a local newspaper that "the engine locked up at 4,700 feet forcing him to find the safest place to land." The pilot added that "the plane suffered minor damage to both wings." Photos show that both wings sustained leading edge damage and one landing wheel was flatended.

The FAA reported "aircraft experienced engine issues and made an emergency landing on a bridge." However, the local newspaper reported that the airplane landed on a road south of the Graysport Crossing Bridge.
