Accidents and incidents

  • 21 July 1985: A Piper PA-38 Tomahawk, registration number N2323E, was destroyed in a hard landing at Possum Kingdom Airport; the pilot and single passenger suffered minor injuries. The pilot had planned to fly to Mineral Wells Airport but could not find the airfield because the airport beacon was inoperative and he could not see the runway lights; he then diverted to Possum Kingdom Airport, but ran out of fuel while descending to land, and was too high and fast on final approach. He purposely touched down beside the runway to avoid a runway overrun, but landed hard, causing the landing gear to collapse and the aircraft to flip over. The accident was attributed to fuel exhaustion and the pilot's failure to maintain a proper descent rate, with his descent rate on landing having exceeded the design strength of the landing gear. Contributing factors were the inoperative beacon at the original destination, and soft terrain at the landing site.[5]
