On November 13, 2025, about 1430 central standard time, a Cirrus SR22 airplane, N79EM, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident near Teague, Texas. The pilot and passenger were not injured. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 91 personal flight.

The pilot reported that about 30 minutes into the flight from David Wayne Hooks Memorial Airport in Houston, Texas, to Addison Airport in Addison, Texas, he heard a loud bang followed by popping and scraping noises with a corresponding violent airframe shake. At the same moment, he noticed oil venting from the engine cowling primarily from around the oil door. The pilot chose to divert to the Teague Municipal Airport (68F) in Teague, Texas. During the diversion, he noticed that the No. 2 cylinder head and exhaust gas temperatures were not visible, and the engine RPM indicated 0 (see Figure 1).

The pilot performed the forced landing checklist and determined that 68F was outside the best glide range of the airplane. He then elected to find a suitable field over which to deploy the Cirrus Airframe Parachute System (CAPS). The CAPS deployed normally, and the airplane collided with a tree line during decent which resulted in substantial damage to the empennage and left wing.

Postaccident examination of the engine revealed several holes in the engine crankcase. The No. 1 and 2 cylinders, along with both magnetos, separated from the engine. A review of the engine maintenance logbook showed numerous maintenance actions for various oil leaks with the engine crankcase over the previous 12 calendar months. The airplane received its airworthiness certificate in October 2023, and the engine had accumulated about 500 hours according to the airplane’s tachometer.

The engine was removed for further examination.

On November 8, 2025 about 1300 Alaska standard time, a Piper PA-14 airplane, N5188H, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident near Talkeetna, Alaska. The pilot was not injured. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight.

The airplane departed the Willow Airport (PAUO), Willow, Alaska after having wheel skis installed and was flying to Talkeetna Airport (PATK) Talkeetna Alaska. The pilot stated that he was about 3 miles to the south of PATK and was beginning his descent to land, he reported pulling full carburetor heat and shortly thereafter the engine lost all power.

The pilot performed a forced landing to a gravel bar three miles from PATK. During the landing roll, the left main landing gear collapsed, and the left wing struck the ground. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the left wing and fuselage.

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

Extra EA-300/L, N300EX, accident occurred on October 14, 2025, at Arlington Municipal Airport (AWO/KAWO), Arlington, Washington

On October 14, 2025, at about 1030 Pacific daylight time, an EXTRA FLUGZEUGBAU GMBH 300L, N300EX, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident near Arlington, Washington. The flight instructor and private pilot receiving instruction were uninjured. The aircraft operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 instructional flight.

The instructor pilot stated that prior to departure, he verified the canopy was closed and latched on three separate occasions. Several seconds after he initiated the takeoff roll, the canopy opened and then separated from the airplane. During the separation, the canopy struck and substantially damaged the rudder, right horizontal stabilizer, and right elevator trim tab. He rejected the takeoff and exited the runway. The instructor pilot reported the canopy separation was likely the result of a mechanical malfunction of the canopy latching mechanism and that the left-side locking mechanism might not have engaged its retention receptacle.

An initial postaccident examination of the airplane by a Federal Aviation Administration investigator indicated that the canopy pins and hinges appeared to be intact. He observed some chipped paint on the right-side canopy pins and slight scuffing on the inboard side of the aft locking receptacles.

The airplane wreckage was retained for further examination.
