The NTSB's narrative preliminary · quoted from the NTSB record
On December 17, 2025, at 1410 eastern standard time, an experimental amateur-built Velocity V-Twin airplane, N22EU, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident near Nashua, New Hampshire. The pilot received minor injuries. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight. The pilot was flying the airplane in the airport traffic pattern. On his third circuit of the traffic pattern, when turning to the downwind leg, the airplane “steepened its bank and nosed down.” Even after pushing propeller, mixture, and throttle controls full forward, he was unable to arrest the descent and the airplane impacted a densely populated area. The pilot reported that there were no preimpact mechanical malfunctions or failures of the airplane that would have precluded normal operation. The airplane struck a house and vehicle and came to rest inverted. Federal Aviation Administration inspectors examined the airplane after the accident and observed that the airplane’s fuselage and wings were substantially damaged. Non-volatile memory cards were recovered from avionics onboard the airplane and were retained for further examination.
