Accidents and incidents
- 16 July 2001: In a rare case of airplane theft, two men stole a Piper PA-28-180 from Parker County Airport near Weatherford, Texas, but crashed while attempting to land at Bridgeport Municipal Airport a short time later. Hudson Oaks police speculated that the men intended to refuel the aircraft in Bridgeport before flying it to Oklahoma.[4] Neither of the thieves had ever held a pilot certificate, but the man who acted as pilot reportedly had 6 hours of prior flight time.[N 1] The aircraft impacted the runway in a nose-down attitude and slid for a considerable distance; both men suffered serious injuries. No verifiable problems were found in the engine, airframe, or flight controls. The accident was attributed to "the non-certificated pilot's improper flare which resulted in a hard landing."[5]
References
- Notes
- The circumstances of the man's prior flight time are not made clear in the NTSB accident report, but it is likely that he had taken the controls while a certificated pilot was acting as pilot-in-command.
