Overview and Identification of the Event and Aircraft Type and Registration Number of the Aircraft and Date and Location of the Accident and Operator and Cause of the Accident and Probable Cause of the Accident and Tags of the Accident and Summary of the Accident and Body of the Accident and Title of the Accident and JSON Object with Keys: title, summary, body, probable_cause, tags. The source does not provide a registration number, so it is not stated. The source does not provide an operator, so it is not stated. The source does not provide a cause, so probable_cause is null. The source states the aircraft type as Piper / PA-46-310 P Malibu. The source states the date as 30 June 2007. The source states the location as Wangerooge. The source states the event as an accident. The source states the personnel damage as pilot and three passengers seriously injured, one passenger lightly injured. The source states the material damage as aircraft destroyed. The source states the third-party damage as none. The source states the information source as investigation by BFU. The source states the facts and flight course: after a three-hour stay on Wangerooge, the pilot intended to fly back to Bremen with four passengers on board. After setting full engine power and releasing the brakes, the takeoff roll began at 15:58 local time on the operational asphalt runway 28. The aircraft lifted off after a roll distance of less than 300 m and assumed a high angle of attack observed by several witnesses. At the same time, the low-wing aircraft rotated with an increasing left bank and touched the ground with the wingtip. The wing tore off and the low-wing aircraft struck the ground with the nose of the fuselage. During further rotation around the vertical axis, the right wing also tore off. The wreckage fell into a drainage ditch running parallel to the runway at the foot of the protective dike. With the help of rescue forces, three of the occupants were able to leave the cabin low-wing aircraft through the entry door on the rear left fuselage side. The pilot and the passenger seated on the right front were trapped and were rescued from the wreckage by the fire brigade. The source states information about the persons: the 52-year-old pilot had held a private pilot license since 1993. On 01.10.1996, he obtained the license for commercial pilot. In the JAR/FCL license, the ratings for single- and multi-engine aircraft (SE and ME piston land), the instrument flight rating, and the ratings for training private pilots (FI PPL (A) and CRI) were entered. No personal logbook was available for the investigation. The total flight experience could therefore not be determined exactly. From other records, however, at least a flight time of 993 hours could be traced. The experience on the Malibu was 76 hours according to the aircraft's logbook. Of this, he had completed 17 hours within the last 90 days. The source states information about the aircraft: the aircraft Piper PA-46-310 P Malibu was a single-engine six-seat low-wing cabin class aircraft with a pressurized cabin. It was equipped with the 310 HP powerful engine Continental TSIO-520-BE. The source states the accident site and findings on the aircraft: the accident site was located about 340 m from the runway beginning in a water-filled ditch in front of the dike. Due to the degree of destruction in the cockpit area and the location in the water, the on-site investigation was difficult. It was continued after the wreckage was recovered and transported to an aviation technical business. The operating time since the manufacture of the aircraft in 1987 was 1,396 hours. The flight time since the last annual inspection and the last 100-hour inspection was 57 hours. The source states meteorological information: on the North Sea coast, the visibility on the afternoon of the accident day was more than 10 km. According to the statement of the flight leader at the traffic landing place Wangerooge, a strong gusty wind from 280 to 300° with speeds between 15 and 30 kt was blowing. The source states information about the airfield: the airfield Wangerooge is located on the tidal flat side of the North Sea island. Parallel to the protective dike and a drainage ditch, the 850 m long and 20 m wide asphalt runway runs in a missweiss orientation 096° / 276°. As a takeoff and landing runway, runway 28 was in operation. The source states that the investigation was carried out in accordance with the law on the investigation of accidents and disturbances in the operation of civil aircraft (Flugunfall-Untersuchungs-Gesetz - FlUUG) of 26 August 1998. The sole purpose of the investigation is the prevention of future accidents and disturbances. The investigation does not serve to establish fault, liability, or claims. In the middle fuselage area, where the drive of the landing flaps is located, the damage was minor. It could be traced that a flap position of 10° had been selected for the takeoff. The trim was found in a slight 'nose-up' position. To be able to exclude a change due to impact, the finding was compared with the setting values on another PA-46-310 and confirmed. The engine was running at power during the takeoff. No technical defects that would have impaired the airworthiness of the aircraft were found during the investigation.
