Aviation Audio Clips / Cessna Skywagon Crash at KBGR August 22 2025
« Last post by gtheall on August 25, 2025, 18:58:31 UTC »Last Friday a pilot ferrying a Cessna Skywagon across the Atlantic suffered a fatal crash while attempting to land on runway 33 at Bangor International Airport (KBGR) in Maine. There was a gusty crosswind at the time, and as the plane touched down, it did a ground loop, and the left wing clipped the runway surface. Apparently the pilot then attempted a go around, which ended in a stall / spin. A young kid happened to be videotaping at the time and recorded the crash - . Things go wonky around 30 seconds in. Attached is an audio clip starting when the plane was at 1800' on the approach.

GULF SHORES, Ala. (WALA) - A small plane crash this afternoon brought a large first-responder presence to Alabama 59 between Coastal Alabama Community College and the Gulf Shores Tourism, the Gulf Shores Police Department. According to city of Gulf Shores Public Information Officer Grant Brown, the single-engine plane with two people aboard was preparing to land at Gulf Shores International Airport around 2 p.m. As it neared Alabama 59 from the west, one wing apparently clipped a tree, causing the plane to spin around and crash in a vacant lot just west of the airport runway, he said.
Both people were conscious and alert when removed from the plane, Grant said. They were taken to Sacred Heart Hospital in Pensacola. Because the crash happened outside the airport boundaries, airport operations were not affected, he added.
Grant said the scene has been secured and investigators with the FAA and the NTSB are expected to arrive Monday morning, he said.

Aviation Audio Clips / Re: KDCA 5/1/25 1830Z PAT23 Circles Pentagon for Landing / Rwy 19 Go-Arounds x2
« Last post by baldiedc on August 24, 2025, 00:04:20 UTC »NTSB issues the preliminary report for its ongoing investigation of the May 1 loss of separation event between a UH-60 Blackhawk helicopter landing at the Pentagon Heliport and an Embraer 170 (Republic Airways flight 5825) on approach to Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA) near Washington, DC.
https://x.com/NTSB_Newsroom/status/1958967232803058059
Note:
DAL1671 Go-Around:
~1825Z DCA ATCT ALC controller coordinated with Potomac to ask for extended spacing between JIA5073 and RPA5825 that was next in sequence for runway 19; Potomac controller confirmed they would give them some space.
Between 1825Z and 1828Z Potomac sequenced DAL1671 into the extended spacing that they had advised DCA ATCT they would provide so that DCA ATCT could get PAT23 into the Pentagon.
RPA5825 Go-Around / Loss of Separation:
At about 1833Z, the DCA ATCT LC controller asked PAT23 if they were landing assured, and the crew advised they were landing assured. Simultaneously, according to information provided in post-incident interviews, the DCA ATCT LC saw PAT23 climb back up above the Pentagon building and immediately issued a go around to RPA5825 and instructed them to climb and maintain 3,000 feet and turn right heading 250°. The crew of RPA5825 acknowledged the go around, and read back the instructions, however separation had already been lost.
Pentagon Communications:
All information gathered confirmed that there had been no known or documented loss of communication at any time between JPN HT and PAT23, and that there had been no replacement or movement of any communication equipment since the event, and that information previously released regarding the potential loss of communications had been erroneous
