Accident Overview
The Cessna 182Q Skylane was involved in an accident during a parachuting operation. After a normal takeoff and climb to 1800 feet, the pilot noticed fog approaching the airfield and decided to return. During the final approach, the engine lost power, leading to a crash landing. Fortunately, there were no injuries among the crew or passengers.
Pilot Information
The pilot, holding a Private Pilot's Licence with a Night Rating, had 289 hours of flying experience, with 170 hours on the Cessna 182Q. In the last 90 days, the pilot logged 21 hours, and in the last 28 days, 3 hours.
Engine Power Loss
The report suggests that the engine power loss may have been caused by carburetor icing, as the air temperature was close to 0°C with visible moisture present at the time of the accident. Maintenance personnel could not determine a specific cause for the engine problem.
Regulatory Exemptions
The aircraft was granted an exemption from Article 49 of the Air Navigation Order, allowing it to be used for parachuting. This exemption included specific limitations, such as the removal of the right entry door and all but the pilot's seat, which affected passenger restraint.
Safety notes
- Engine power loss during final approach can lead to critical situations; pilots should be aware of carburetor icing risks in low temperatures.

It was reported to have performed normallyduring the take off and climbed uneventfully to 1800 feet, whereuponthe pilot noticed a sea 'fret' (fog) approaching the airfield. He considered this might cover the airfield before he could land,should he complete the intended flight, and so he made the decisionto return, descending rapidly to the circuit . After lining upwith Runway 12 on final approach, the engine lost power, and theaircraft descended sooner than intended causing it to strike theairfield perimeter fence. This pitched the aircraft down, resultingin it striking the ground door. None of those on board were injuredand all were able to exit the aircraft via its right door. Laterexamination of the aircraft by maintenance personnel failed toreveal any cause for the engine problem, and the pilot consideredthat the engine may have been affected by carburettor icing, resultingin the loss of power. The air temperature at the time of theaccident was close to 0°C, with visible moisture present. Aircraft used in the parachutist-dropping role require exemptionfrom Article 49 of the Air Navigation Order which essentiallyprohibits the dropping of persons, except in the case of an emergency. GPLEE had been granted an exemption in the form of a CAAsupplement to the Pilot's Operating Handbook, which forms partof the Certificate of Airworthiness. This allowed for it to beused for free-fall parachuting, but subject to 12 limitations. Two of these limitations required that the right entry door,and all but the pilot's seat, must be removed thus not providingany form of restraint for the parachutists. It is custom andpractice in the sport of free-fall parachuting for participantsto wear protective clothing and helmets in addition to their parachuteswhich, together with knowledge of the 'brace' position taughtduring training, is deemed to provide adequate protection in theevent of turbulence or an emergency landing. Aircraft capableof lifting greater numbers of parachutists, for example the ShortsSkyvan, contain fittings which provide restraint when connectedto the parachutist's harness.
