TBM-700 crash at KEFT

[Hiboglossi]

TBM-700 crashes in quarry near the Monroe, Wisconsin Municipal Airport on Monday evening, apparently on a go-around from an approach. Both occupants of the aircraft perished, and there was a significant post-crash fire in the quarry. KEFT was reporting 1/4 mile visibility and 300' ceilings.

Loss of control on missed?
No icing.

Damn shame.

The TBM-700 will torque roll very badly on a go around if you add power too quickly. I’ve posted this about the aircraft before.

Yup. Any SE TP
Add power at the rate you can control it

(thought we learned the lesson on the P51)

Interestingly there was an SETP paper this year demonstrating that the P-51 “torque roll” is due to the left wing stalling due to prop wash induced AoA differences rather than insufficient control authority.

Huh... never knew the reason.
Just knew to NOT slap the power forward all at once

If you have a link, send it my way.

Johnny 5 collects data! also interested in keeping my TP knowledge up to date - is it SFTE or SETP which is better?

If you are an SFTE member you have guest access to the SETP Papers database, this was a 2025 symposium paper.

P-51 is specified. Is this applicable to all large fighters of the day - Corsairs, Bearcats, et al? Also - why do you never hear of European fighters torque rolling? Better training for relatively more rare/expensive? Or they happen and we don't hear because it's overseas?

Great read.
I like that it doesn't disprove any single concept, but adds an additional factor (slipstream altering left wing AOA) as a compounding factor.

It reinforces the same techniques with an addition consideration.

A comparison of the P51 vs the TBM and PC12 might be useful to newer pilots and/or owner/operators.
