On May 30, 2026, about 1113 central daylight time, a Grumman AA-1A airplane, N6416L, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident near Amery, Wisconsin. The pilot sustained minor injuries. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 positioning flight. 

The pilot reported that while en route on a positioning flight, he felt a sudden violent shaking of the airframe with a partial loss of engine power. He attempted to correct the power loss by applying carburetor heat, turning on the fuel pump, and switching fuel tanks; however, the shaking continued until the oil pressure decreased to zero followed by a total loss of engine power. The pilot established a best glide attitude and attempted to reach the nearest airport, which was Amery Municipal Airport in Amery, Wisconsin. While en route, the pilot realized he would not make the runway and chose to conduct a forced off-field landing into an open field about two nautical miles from the runway. During the off-field landing, both main landing gear collapsed which resulted in substantial damage to both wings. 

During recovery of the airplane, the engine was observed to have a hole in the crankcase next to the No. 4 cylinder. The airplane was retained for further examination.

On June 1, 2026, about 1340 mountain daylight time, a Cirrus Design Corp SR22T, N324WY, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident near Casper, Wyoming. The pilot was not injured. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight. 

According to the pilot, the airplane departed from Casper/Natrona County International Airport (CPR), Casper, Wyoming, and initiated a climb to the south. About 45 miles south of CPR, shortly after leveling the airplane at 21,000 ft mean sea level (MSL), the engine began running rough, lost partial power, and the engine related temperature readings “blanked out.” The pilot immediately initiated a descent, turned the airplane toward CPR, and contacted air traffic control (ATC) about the airplane’s emergency and that he needed to return to CPR. At about 14,000 ft msl, he leveled the airplane, however, could not maintain altitude. The engine roughness increased, and about 15 miles south of CPR, at about 6,800 ft msl, the pilot was uncertain if the airplane would clear mountainous terrain between his position and CPR. 

The pilot identified an area he felt was safe to descend into and planned to deploy the Cirrus Airframe Parachute System (CAPS). Before the deployment of CAPS, some engine power returned and the pilot elected to continue toward CPR. About 8 miles south of CPR, the pilot requested runway 26 and the controller cleared the pilot to land. As the airplane entered a modified base turn for runway 26 and at about 500-600 ft above the ground (agl), the engine seized. The pilot elected not to deploy CAPS due to the safe deployment altitude restriction and initiated a forced landing. Subsequently, the airplane landed short of runway 26 and impacted an airport perimeter fence during the landing roll before it came to rest upright, about 1,300 ft from the runway threshold. 

Postaccident examination revealed substantial damage to both wings. The wreckage was retained for further examination.

On June 13, 2026, about 1318 eastern daylight time, a Robinson R44 Raven I helicopter, N336SG, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident at the North Perry Airport (HWO), Hollywood, Florida. The pilot and three passengers sustained minor injuries. The helicopter was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 sightseeing flight.

The pilot reported that this was the second flight of the day; everything seemed to be normal and functioning correctly prior to lifting into a hover. Shortly after lifting into a hover, the pilot said the helicopter drifted to the left, he applied right cyclic to correct. Before the pilot could lower the collective the helicopter drifted sharply to the right and said he could not stop the drift.

Various recorded video footage captured the helicopter lifting from the ground in what appears to be a nose low attitude with a slight drift to the left followed by a drift to the right. The helicopter’s right skid contacted the ground, the critical roll angle was exceeded, and the helicopter experienced a dynamic rollover; it impacted a parked airplane and came to rest on its right side.

The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the helicopter on the previous flight that would have precluded normal operation.

The wreckage has been moved to a secure location and is awaiting further examination by the National Transportation Safety Board.
