Narrative:On October 21, 2005, a privately owned Piper J3C-65, G-KIRK, took off from Niigata Airport for a leisure flight. While flying toward Hiroshima Airport, the aircraft suffered engine trouble. At approximately 13:08 JST, the aircraft made an emergency landing on a road in Kanazawa City.
Only the pilot-in-command was on board the aircraft. He suffered slight injuries. The aircraft was destroyed, but there was no post-crash fire.
PROBABLE CAUSE
The accident was caused by aircraft colliding with parked vehicles on a road under construction, while performing an emergency landing following engine trouble during flight. It is estimated that the engine trouble was caused by restriction of the fuel flow by blockage of most of the carburetor inlet screen by foreign matter.
It is estimated that the cause of the accumulation of foreign matter in the vicinity of the inlet screen in such a quantity that the restricted fuel flow was the insufficient removal of the matter although it was done.
