Dehavilland TIGER MOTH DH 82A — registry & accident history

Recent Dehavilland TIGER MOTH DH 82A accidents

1. N675LFApr 10, 2024No injuries

   The pilot's failure to maintain directional control during the takeoff with a direct gusting crosswind.

2. N41DHOct 17, 2023No injuries

   The pilot’s decision to turn out early during the initial climb and failure to maintain adequate airspeed/angle-of-attack, which resulted in an aerodynamic stall and impact with airport hangars. Contributing to the accident was the variable wind conditions above the hangars and the pilot’s lack of awareness of those conditions.

3. N5300Jan 23, 2022Minor

   The failure of a bolt in the engine valve system which resulted in malfunction of the engine exhaust valve system and a partial loss of engine power. The rough terrain encountered during the forced landing contributed to the outcome.

4. N9410Dec 12, 2015No injuries

   A partial loss of engine power due to a stuck No. 1 cylinder exhaust valve.

5. N28681Nov 15, 2014Serious

   The pilot’s failure to maintain airspeed while maneuvering, which led to the airplane exceeding its critical angle-of-attack and experiencing an aerodynamic stall at an insufficient altitude to fully recover before collision with obstacles and terrain.

6. N9410Sep 22, 2013No injuries

   The total loss of engine power for reasons that could not be determined because postaccident examinations revealed no anomalies that would have precluded normal operation, which resulted in a forced landing into trees.

7. N8872Jul 23, 2011No injuries

   The pilot's failure to maintain a proper approach path during landing.
