NTSB Accidents

Probable Cause: A total loss of engine power and navigational equipment as a result of a faulty battery.

Probable Cause: The Remos pilot’s failure to maintain clearance from another airplane while taxiing, which resulted in a ground collision.

Probable Cause: The maintenance technician’s failure to follow the manufacturer’s recommended procedures during a wheel and tire change to ensure proper clearance of the tire to the wheel well, resulting in the right main wheel becoming stuck in the well and subsequent partial gear extension landing.

Probable Cause: The pilot’s failure to maintain clearance from a commercial airliner, which resulted in an encounter with wake turbulence and subsequent loss of control, resulting in impact with terrain.

Probable Cause: The pilot’s inadequate fuel management, which resulted in fuel starvation and a total loss of engine power. Contributing to the accident was the inaccurate fuel gauge.

Probable Cause: The failure of a landing gear torque arm, which resulted in a landing gear collapse and runway excursion.

Probable Cause: The pilot’s inadvertent failure to lower the landing gear before touching down.

Probable Cause: A partial loss of engine power due to the formation of carburetor ice as a result of the pilot’s improper use of carburetor heat.
