Piper PA-28-161 Cherokee Warrior II G-WARB: Forced landing due to engine oil leak, Wolverhampton Halfpenny Green Airfield, Crab Lane, Bobbington, Staffordshire 12 October 2022. The incident was the subject of an AAIB Correspondence-only investigation, and the following is the summary from the AAIB Report:
"With a passenger in the left seat, the pilot was flying from the right and had just levelled the aircraft at 1,500 ft when a “brownish coloured band” appeared on the windshield. He assumed it was from an engine oil leak and immediately turned back to the airfield. Soon, the oil completely obscured the pilot’s forward visibility. He flew a crabbed approach, approximately 30° left of the runway track, and opened the cabin door so that he could see forward through the door aperture to line up with the runway. The aircraft landed safely. The oil leak was caused by a failed crank case seal plug".
