On June 5, 2024, about 0630 eastern daylight time, a Piper PA-25-235 airplane, N8715L, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident near Colquitt, Georgia. The commercial pilot sustained minor injuries. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 137 aerial application flight.
The flight originated from a private airstrip. The pilot reported that preflight operations were normal; the engine contained 10 quarts of oil and there was no water found in the fuel samples. The engine run-up and takeoff were normal; however, the engine started “missing” as the airplane climbed to about 200-300 ft mean sea level. The engine speed dropped about 50 rpm. The pilot confirmed full forward engine controls and the engine then lost all power. A forced landing was made into trees in a swamp. The airplane came to rest in shallow water, and the pilot exited the airplane and was met by first responders.
The operator reported substantial damage to both wings and the fuselage.
The wreckage was retained for further examination.
