The inadequate visual lookout of the pilots in both airplanes, and their failure to maintain clearance.
Fuel exhaustion leads to street landing
Fuel starvation due to the pilot’s inadequate fuel system management.
Bird encounter aborts takeoff
The pilot’s failure to maintain directional control during takeoff. The goose was a factor.
Variable winds lead to loss of control
The pilot’s failure to maintain an adequate airspeed during an aborted landing that resulted in a stall/mush and subsequent hard landing.
Failure to manage crosswind leads to accident
The pilot’s inadequate compensation for the crosswind conditions and failure to maintain directional control while landing.
Engine fire leads to crash
An engine oil line leak and subsequent engine compartment fire while in cruise flight.
Fractured exhaust valve leads to power loss
A loss of engine power while maneuvering due to a broken exhaust valve.
Long landing goes bad
The pilot’s failure to properly achieve the correct touch down point, which resulted in a runway overrun and subsequent noseover into a ditch.
Student loses it in crosswind
The student pilot’s failure to maintain directional control during landing. The crosswind was a factor.
