On 26 August 2015, an incident involving a Diamond DA-42 TwinStar aircraft occurred at Warsaw Chopin Airport (EPWA). The aircraft was operated by IBEX-UL sp. z o.o. According to the event notification submitted by DOPL EPWA, the incident had taken place on 24 August 2015. The notification stated that after the aircraft taxied from its parking position onto a taxiway, the pilot reported steering problems. The aircraft was subsequently pushed back to its parking position with the assistance of ground handling staff.
Investigation Findings
The investigation was conducted by the operator, IBEX-UL sp. z o.o., as mandated. However, on 13 September 2016, in response to a reminder email sent on 5 September 2016, a representative of IBEX-UL informed the investigating authority by telephone that the incident was not known to the company. It was suggested that a misidentification of the aircraft had most likely occurred. The confusion may have resulted from increased traffic at the airport. Given the significant passage of time, it was no longer possible to establish the actual facts of the event.
