The pilot was conducting a personal flight in his experimental Long EZ.

While in cruise flight, the airplane “violently began shuddering,” and the pilot immediately shut down the engine and attempted an emergency landing. The airplane was unable to reach the selected runway and landed about 200′ short of the runway threshold in a rough, grassy area in Eufaula, Alabama.

After exiting the airplane, the pilot discovered that a portion of the trailing edge of the wood propeller had separated and penetrated the lower half of the right rudder control surface.

The pilot, who was conducting a personal flight to practice takeoffs and landings, noted the Piper PA-28’s engine lost total power while he was preparing to land.

His attempt to restart the engine was unsuccessful.

The airplane did not have sufficient altitude to reach the airport in Carroll, Ohio, so he performed a forced landing into a field, resulting in substantial damage to the airplane’s left wing.

After the pilot refueled his Cessna 182, he was cleared by the tower controller to the runway at the airport in Tucson, Arizona.

As he taxied west toward taxiway Delta, the asphalt was very rough, and he did not see the taxiway to his left nor the unmarked drainage ditch immediately in front of him.

The airplane went into the ditch traveling about 5 knots.

While conducting a personal flight, the pilot reported he experienced a “complete loss of flight controls” during the landing flare.

The main landing gear settled to the runway at the airport in Harvard, Illinois.

During the landing roll, he was able to reach the copilot-side control yoke in the Cessna 170 and complete the landing, but the airplane received substantial damage.

The Cessna 172’s empennage struck the wires.

The pilot and passenger planned on a short flight around the traffic pattern in an open-cockpit, light sport airplane.

Shortly after takeoff, as the pilot turned downwind, he heard a “crack,” and the engine started to vibrate and lose power. He applied power, but the engine did not respond. He turned sharply left and then tried to stop the turn and descend, but the airplane continued to turn and descend until it hit a ravine near St. Mary’s, Kansas. Both the pilot and passenger were seriously injured in the crash.

A witness saw two objects fall from the airplane shortly after the engine sound “stopped.”

The pilot departed in the Piper PA-28 with 10 gallons of fuel to practice crosswind landings at a nearby airport.

About one hour later and during an approach, he was aiming to land on the runway numbers at the airport in Batavia, Ohio. Shortly before flying over the airport perimeter fence, he reported that “either wind shear or a sudden downdraft dropped the plane.”

The nose landing gear hit the fence, and the airplane hit the ground short of the intended runway.
