NTSB Accidents

Probable Cause: The pilot’s failure to see and avoid powerlines while maneuvering at low altitude.

Probable Cause: The student pilot’s lack of fuel management during the flight and the flight instructor’s inadequate monitoring of his student’s fuel management, resulting in fuel starvation and a forced landing to a highway.

Probable Cause: The pilot’s failure to disengage the ignition prior to moving the propeller by hand resulting in the inadvertent starting of the engine.

Probable Cause: The pilot’s improper landing flare, which resulted in a hard, bounced landing and runway excursion. Contributing to the accident was the flight instructor’s delayed remedial action.

Probable Cause: The pilot’s failure to maintain directional control during the landing roll.

Probable Cause: The improper recovery from a bounced landing, which resulted in a hard landing and subsequent noseover.

Probable Cause: A failure of the right brake during taxi, which resulted in a taxiway excursion and collision with a tree.

Probable Cause: Airport personnel’s failure to properly prioritize their response actions, including updating the airport’s automated weather observation system recording in a timely manner to notify incoming pilots of a runway closure, which resulted in an airplane striking an immobilized airplane on the runway during landing at night. Contributing to the accident was the airport’s inadequate emergency response plan.
