Piper Seminole Crash, Cirrus SR22 Hard Landing, Mooney Door-Pop Spin

from NTSB News Talk – Aviation Accidents, Safety Investigations & Pilot Lessons

Max talks with Rob Mark about a dense lineup of recent accidents and final reports, led by the Piper PA-44 Seminole N595ND crash in Fort Pierce, Florida, the Cirrus SR22 N124SP hard landing in St. Paul, Minnesota, and the Mooney M20K N4387W stall-spin in St. Augustine, Florida, after a cabin door popped open shortly after takeoff. They also examine the Beech 58 Baron N2063G crash in Tennessee, which appears consistent with a VMC demo that turned into a stall-spin, the Sling N166TW crash on Catalina Island after apparent low-level terrain maneuvering, and the Piper Saratoga N4190E runway overrun in Arizona after an excessively fast approach.Brought to you by AVEMCO aircraft insurance.Support Rob and Max by making a donation at Patreon.comIn the final-report segment, they break down how distraction likely contributed to the Mooney M20K N4387W crash, why the Piper PA-44 Seminole N595ND shows the danger of trying to salvage a one-engine go-around in a light twin, and how Cessna 172P N781FM likely lost power because of carb ice during a low-power descent. They close with one of the strangest cases in the episode: a damaged battery pack that later ignited and destroyed Mooney M20E N5632Q in Hornell, NY. A brief additional mention covers a separate Cirrus SR22 N285AH that departed the runway in Fullerton, California after the pilot seat slid back on takeoff.
