NTSB Report: Murphy Moose

Pilot Didn't Remember What Exactly Led To The Crash, Citing Injuries That Resulted From The Impact

Location: Ocean Shores, Washington   Accident Number: WPR24LA188
Date & Time: June 8, 2024, 16:14   Aircraft Registration: N9695W
Aircraft: Murphy SR3500 Moose  Injuries: 2 Serious
Flight Conducted Under: Part 91: General aviation - Personal

The NTSB published a preliminary report regarding a Murphy Moose that took a pretty severe hit after what may have been a touch-and-go gone wrong. Unfortunately, however, there are still some questions, since even the pilot can’t quite describe what happened.

"On June 8, 2024, about 1614 Pacific daylight time, an experimental amateur-built, Murphy Moose, N9695W, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident near Ocean Shores, Washington. The pilot and passenger sustained serious injuries."

Unfortunately, the pilot didn't remember what exactly led to the crash, citing injuries that resulted from the impact. The NTSB was able to piece together a little bit though, after interviewing locals about what preceded the event. "Witnesses located near the accident location reported that they observed the accident airplane approach runway 33 from the south, touch down on the runway, then took off again to the north. The witnesses stated that shortly thereafter, the airplane banked to the right and descended to the ground in a nose low attitude."

Once they got the wreckage in sight, the NTSB got to work. "Postaccident examination of the airplane revealed that the airplane impacted the ground about 150 ft east of runway 33, at the Ocean Shores Municipal Airport (W04) Ocean Shores, Washington. The fuselage and both wings were substantially damaged. The wreckage was recovered to a secure location for further examination. The automated weather observation station at Bowerman Airport, Hoquiam, Washington, located about 10 miles east of the accident site reported that, about 21 minutes before the time of the accident, wind was from 260° at 15 knots, and about 39 minutes after the accident, wind from 270° at 9 knots. Witnesses located at W04, reported that it was a “windy day” at the time of the accident."
