What happened
On August 24, 2015, an incident occurred at Warsaw Chopin Airport (EPWA) involving a Diamond DA-42 TwinStar operated by IBEX-UL sp. z o.o. Following taxiing from a parking stand onto the taxiway, the pilot reported experiencing difficulties with the aircraft's controls. To prevent further issues, ground personnel assisted in pushing the aircraft back to its parking position.
The investigation
The investigation was initiated following a report submitted by the airport authority. During the inquiry, the operator, IBEX-UL, was contacted to provide details regarding the event. However, the operator stated that they had no record of such an occurrence involving their aircraft. It was suggested that the report might have resulted from a misidentification of the aircraft, potentially caused by high traffic volume at the airport during that period.
Due to the significant amount of time that had elapsed between the event and the follow-up inquiries, the investigation could not definitively establish the actual circumstances or identify the specific aircraft involved.
