Accidents and incidents

  • On May 13, 2005, a Piper PA28 impacted terrain after departure from Chandelle Airport. The pilot reported there was a substantial decrease in power on climbout; he lowered the nose to gain airspeed and tried to adjust the throttle but got no response. Postaccident examination of the exhaust system revealed that a portion of the internal baffle in the muffler assembly had separated from the surrounding structure, and was free to move around inside the muffler. Further examination of the exhaust system showed that the tailpipe was equipped with an arch shaped standoff assembly that extended from the inboard end of the tailpipe and protruded into the muffler. The probable cause of the accident was found to be the separated baffle, which blocked the tailpipe and caused a total loss of engine power.[5]
  • On July 13, 2013, a Piper PA28 crashed near the airport. The sole occupant was hospitalized.[6]
  • On September 30, 2017, a Cessna 172 Skyhawk crashed while landing at Chandelle Airport. The aircraft overshot the runway.[7][8][9]
