N3189Z has 1 accident/incident record on file (most serious damage: substantial); details are below. 2 earlier records involve a different aircraft that carried the same N-number.
Probable cause: The student pilot's improper use of the flight controls while performing a hovering autorotation and the flight instructor's excessive remedial action which resulted in a hard landing.
Reported aircraft: Piper PA-18-150 — a different aircraft that carried the N3189Z registration before this airframe.
Probable cause: The glider pilot's failure to maintain control of his aircraft during spoiler retraction, which led to the Piper pilot's inability to recover safe flying airspeed within the altitude constraints at the time of the event. Contributing factors were the failure of the glider pilot to ensure that the spoilers were locked prior to takeoff, and the binding of the tow aircraft's tow hook release latch.
